He did it to spite arsene, to symbolically 'outmuscle' city financially and also as a desperation move to improve their play for the PL.

All they've succeeded in doing is capturing an aging winger who is declining physically but on massive wages, all while effectively forcing out a top player in his prime.

Martial will 100% leave now hes been parred from NT and they'll have a player who can't rely on his physicality as much anymore, which is detrimental to what makes him a great player.

This.

Man U hurt them selves in a number of ways by aquiring Sanchez.

1) His performance has been a disappointment. When you factor in the wages it has been utterly disappointing.

2) He has pushed Martial out once he arrived just based on the signing. Man U were doing better with Martial than with Sanchez. Sanchez actually made their team worse.

3) He has pushed Martial out permanently. Sanchez and Jose cost Martial WC spot. He is going to hold a grudge.

4) Sanchez is already getting into arguments with his teammates. He is a difficult guy to play with. Man U fans have noticed that he bitches and complains when they mess up or don't give him the ball but then he losses the ball 10 times a match himself. He definitely has hurt their team chemistry with his play as well as with his attitude.

5) His massive wage is going to destroy that team even further. Everyone will want to negotiate with those numbers as benchmark. If they are not paid on par then they are going to find Sanchez's attitude even more unbearable and get into it with the management.

Sanchez has been a big flop so far for them. No sugar coating it.

I can’t stand Mourinho but people are overreacting to this. Sanchez has come in mid season after a punishing few years of non stop football. He’s not finished nor lacking quality. Next season Mourinho will likely sell Martial and maybe Pogba. Play Sanchez off Lukaku with hardworking midfielders backing them up. Could work very nicely.

Sanchez was adored and appreciated here yet he chose to for the c$sh cow and today he is the butt of all jokes. What a fall, don't see any United supporter saying anything nice about him. I for one absolutely don't feel sorry for him. He made his bed and has to suffer the consequences.

Same. He made his choice. Had a lot of good will here, so much so that we forgave a lot of terrible games he produced. Gets what he deserves.

Not looking good for him so far

Mourinho denies Sanchez is unhappy
In a team lacking key senior figures, one established name who did start was Alexis Sanchez.

But the Chilean cut a frustrated figure throughout, repeatedly complaining about poor distribution.

Mourinho, though, denied Sanchez is unhappy.

"Alexis is the only attacking player we have," said the United manager. "We don't have wingers or strikers. He is the only one who is here and he is trying his best with the frustration of someone who wants more."


Jose already on desperate 'he's happy here' propaganda n Sanchez waving his arms at shit teammates sounding all too familiar.

Most of them lot want Mou gone. He's not helping matters by amping up the toxicity before the season even starts.
