Alexis Sanchez is the summation of everything that is currently wrong at Manchester United. Last January, Manchester United indulged in the Chilean, getting him from Arsenal in a transfer that saw Henrikh Mkhitaryan move to the Emirates. It was a move that was surplus to requirements at Old Trafford; United already had Rashford and Martial vying for the same left attacking slot. However, Sanchez was supposed to be the finished material that Jose Mourinho craved. United gave him the coveted No. 7 and a huge salary package to match. A year and a half later, that salary package has cost United a lot of ground in negotiations with their other stars.

The Chilean on the other hand has hardly done anything of note during his time at the club. He has been extremely poor and recurring injuries have not helped either. Sanchez will turn 31 this December and United will be wise to sell him at a reduced price, if required, and free up their pay role.

It will be a sad end to another player who arrived at the club with a lot of expectations and failed to live up to them. But it is time for the Red Devils to put the Sanchez saga behind them once and for all.
