Alexis Sanchez has claimed he wanted to leave Manchester
United after one training session and return to Arsenal.
The Chilean attacker completed a move away from the Emirates
in January 2018.
He endured a nightmare spell at Old Trafford, scoring five
goals in 45 games, before joining Inter Milan on loan for the 2019/2020.
Sanchez made the move permanent this summer.
He scored just five goals in 45 matches before moving to
Inter Milan on loan for the 2019-20 season, a move which he made permanent last
summer.
And Sanchez, 31, who confirmed a Manchester City move
collapsed before he joined United, revealed that he asked to move back to
Arsenal after just one day of training under Jose Mourinho.
“I got the opportunity to go to United and it seemed
tempting to me. It was something nice for me, because when I was a kid I liked
that club a lot.
“I ended up signing without much information about what was
happening in the move. The first days that I was with my colleagues, sometimes
there are things that you do not realise until you arrive.
“The first training I had I realised many things and I told
my representative: “Can’t the contract be terminated to return to Arsenal?”
“They start laughing and I told them that something did not
sit right with me. It had already been signed,” Sanchez said in an Instagram
video.
