Alexis Sanchez's swap deal with Henrikh Mkhitaryan going the other way has been the steal of the season. Apart from the rise in his popularity worldwide as a Man United no.7, the 30-year old is set to become the Premier League's highest earner with £450,000 per week wages. He will bag a sum of £23.4 million once he completes his move to Old Trafford, according to Marca.

Alexis Sanchez was an integral part of Arsenal's FA Cup-winning campaigns in 2015 and 2017. In season 2016-17, the Chilean was at his imperious best, netting 30 times in 51 games for the Gunners.

Sanchez is expected to replicate his stunning form for Arsenal at Old Trafford. It remains to be seen whether he can justify the gigantic wages he will be earning at Manchester United.
