An unhappy Alexis Sánchez, finally got his wish fulfilled, when Manchester United offered him an escape route from Emirates. A highly anticipated deal saw Henrikh Mkhitaryan move to Emirates as Alexis Sánchez moved the other way. Manchester United was regarded to have gotten a better deal than Arsenal by many. But in the long run, Arsenal came out to be the real gainers.

Mkhitaryan has bettered expectation at Arsenal while for Alexis it has been a struggle at Old Trafford so far. A position that was already subject to severe contention at United, saw the addition of Alexis. He never really could replicate his form at Arsenal and is now out till January with an injury. Martial meanwhile has excelled at left wing. Alexis may find it difficult to pin down a spot when he returns from his injury. But, for now, he definitely goes down as a flop.
