5 players whose careers were almost ruined while at Manchester United

#1 Alexis Sanchez

Manchester United v Southampton FC - Premier League

Alexis Sanchez is a world class player and has proved himself in LaLiga and Premier League with Barcelona and Arsenal respectively. He joined Barcelona in 2011 from Udinese for a reported fee of €26million which included €11.5 as some bonus for the Italian club. He became the first ever Chilean to play for the Spanish club.

Sanchez came as a young attack-minded winger who could play at three positions but his preferred position was the right wing where he played most of the time. His game included mazing runs with an eye for the goal and was often seen in the opposition's box. His signature move, the chipped-style crosses into the box were not really preferred as the striker at his time in Barcelona was Lionel Messi who is not known for his aerial skills.

Sanchez joined Arsenal in 2014 for a reported fee of £31.7 million. He was an instant hit at the Emirates as he managed to settle in the squad pretty easily. His bonding with German international Mesut Ozil was one to watch as they stepped up Arsenal's game in a way that was never seen before. His goal tally for Arsenal is equally appreciable, the winger found the net 80 times while assisting 45 times in just 166 games in all competitions.

He has been underperforming for the Red Devils scoring only two goals and assisting three times in 27 league outings. Although he has a decent passing average of 74.7%, he hasn't really produced his magical performance. He is 30 years old and time is running out for him to impress.
