Alexis Sanchez's Impact on Premier League Transfers

The upcoming FA Cup match between Arsenal and Manchester United highlights the controversial transfer of Alexis Sanchez, who moved from Arsenal to United in January 2018. Sanchez's time at United was marked by disappointment, with only two goals in his first full season, leading him to express regret about leaving Arsenal shortly after joining. He has since reflected positively on his time at Arsenal, describing it as a 'family' and indicating he felt out of place at United. Meanwhile, Manchester United continues to feel the financial repercussions of Sanchez's £560,000-a-week contract, which disrupted their wage structure and led to costly contract terminations. Arsenal, on the other hand, benefited from Sanchez's contributions during his tenure, scoring 80 goals before his move. As both clubs prepare to face off, Sanchez's loyalties seem firmly with Arsenal, where he initially thrived.
