I wanted Manchester United exit after one training session — Sanchez

By Daily Sports on September 4, 2020

Inter Milan forward Alexis Sanchez has said he was ready to end his ill-fated spell at former club Manchester United after only one training session with the Premier League side.

Manchester United had signed Chile international Sanchez in January 2018 after he scored 80 goals in three and a half years at Arsenal.

But the former FC Barcelona man failed to reach those heights at Old Trafford under both Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, with five goals in 45 games.

He joined Inter Milan on loan at the start of the 2019/2020 campaign, before the Italian Serie A club signed him permanently on a three-year deal in August.

“I accepted the opportunity to go to Manchester United. It felt tempting and it was something good for me … But I didn’t ask for information on what was happening inside the club,” Sanchez was quoted as saying in an Instagram post.

“Sometimes there are things that you don’t realise until you get there, and I remember the first training session I had, I realised a lot of things.

“After the session I got home and I told my family and my agent ‘can you not rip up the contract to go back to Arsenal?’. They laughed, I told them there’s something that doesn’t sit right, it doesn’t seem good.

“But I already signed. I was already there. After the first few months I carried on having the same feeling, we weren’t united as a team in that moment.”
