The richest club in the world, Manchester United, is known to splash huge amount of money on players. Whenever possible, United looks to sign new players to strengthen their squad.

In the winter transfer window of the 2017-18 season, Sanchez looked for a move out from Arsenal and Man United signed the player amidst Real Madrid rumours, making him the highest earning footballer in EPL handing him £500,000 per week.

Alexis Sanchez is known to be one of the most hardworking footballers in the world and has played some exceptional football for Arsenal football club over the past years. Frustrated Alexis, wanted to add some silverware in his cabinet and gave up hopes on Arsene Wenger's Arsenal and moved to United where he found the going tough and saw his form gradually decrease.

Fans would hope that Alexis Sanchez would be back to his best and will score plenty of goals this coming season.
