Arsenal in January

Alexis Sanchez has not covered himself in glory since joining Manchester United from Arsenal in January. He has offered a few moments of brilliance but there is a criticism that he has greatly hampered the rhythm of this Manchester United side.

Sanchez was essentially prised out of Arsenal and United had to pay over the odds to keep Manchester City at bay. As a result, Alexis Sanchez earns £350,000/week at Manchester United and is grossly overpaid as compared to David de Gea, arguably their best player, who is on a £200,000/week deal.

Whether Sanchez will live up to the expectations remains to be seen but justifying his weekly wage figure will be quite a difficult task.
