Manchester United fans felt they had pulled off a huge coup in snatching Alexis Sanchez right from under the noses of their city rivals Manchester City, with the Chilean's piano playing video widely circulated on social media.

For four years, the 30-year-old had dazzled in the colors of Arsenal, almost single-handedly carrying the club on his back most times and proving himself to be one of the best players in the league.

It was expected that he would bring this tenacity with him to Old Trafford, but that has largely not been the case, as the former Barcelona man has been nothing more than a shadow of his former self.

Till date, Sanchez's piano unveiling has been the highlight of his United career, as he has scored just five goals in 41 appearances in all competitions for Manchester United, and this is a rather poor output, given that he is the highest paid player in Premier League history.
