Alexis Sanchez has finally expressed an interest in his eventful move to Manchester United from Arsenal in 2018.
As The Mirror has reported, Sanchez has revealed why he chose to move to United, a deal that initially had a lot of promise but ended in utter failure.
The Chilean recalls that he originally planned to reunite with his former Barcelona manager, ?Pep Guardiola, and join the green half of Manchester before the deal eventually fell through.
“I am about to go to the city. Everything is ready, there is a player coming to Arsenal. "Then Arsene Wenger told me you don't leave because the other player doesn't want to come and they don't have anyone else," Sanchez claimed.
That's when a phone call from United manager Jose Mourinho arrived and warned Sanchez about the possibility of playing under him at Old Trafford.
“Suddenly the cell phone rang. Mourinho said to me: 'Alexis, this is (number) 7 for you. We are playing in the Champions League and we will give everything. I wanted to leave then.
"That's when I thought to myself. The Chilean is playing for Manchester United, something that has never happened. With seven Cantona, Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo and now a Chilean, it's a dream," Sanchez said. speak.
The former Arsenal player insists his move to United is not motivated by money and says he has no regrets about joining United, despite his disappointing time at the club.
“It's not about the money, so everyone knows that. The same goes for United and City. I don't regret coming to United, everything happens for a reason.
Sanchez's poor form is somewhat surprising compared to his dazzling form at Arsenal.
The South American has scored just five goals in 45 appearances and hasn't won a trophy in 18 months at United.
Since then, the Chilean has spent a few seasons in Italy with Inter Milan before moving to Marseille, where he is enjoying a good season for the French club.
