Analyzing the transfer business of the Premier League's top 6 teams

Manchester City v West Bromwich Albion - Premier League
Guardiola finally got his man after a long chase

#2 Manchester United

Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United - Premier League
Manchester United have got a world class player in Sanchez

Key In(s):

Alexis Sanchez (Arsenal, swap deal)

Key Out(s):

Henrikh Mkhitaryan (Arsenal, swap deal)

There is no way Alexis would not improve the Red Devils, or for that matter, any team.

Having gotten him from under the noses of their noisy neighbors would also have been a psychological win for them.

Although it is unlikely to help them win the title this year, it will likely strengthen their hold on second place, and give them a push in the Champions League.

One possible negative was the loss of Henrik Mkhitaryan to Arsenal but given that he wasn't starting games lately, he will not prove to be much of a miss.

That his sale helped in getting a player of Sanchez's calibre without giving a penny would surely be considered a success.
