Sanchez Joined Manchester United For Money – Wenger by Sportxclusive: 10:20am On Jan 22, 2018 |
Alexis Sanchez will complete his move from Arsenal to Old Trafford today in a swap deal that will see Henrikh Mkhitaryan move the opposite direction. However Arsene Wenger believes Sanchez move was motivated by money.

Manchester City refused to match the figures and therefore pulled out of the race despite their long-standing interest in the player. Wenger said: “I cannot understand anybody wanting to leave Arsenal. But in 30 years of doing transfers you learn a lot about human beings.

After that, we analyse the pros and the cons. “We did what we tried to do and went as far as we could. Even Manchester City moved out of it in the end. That tells you we had no chance to give him a contract.” “We have tried to find the best possible solution and the best possible solution is that we lose a world class player – I don’t deny that at all – but we did not lose him without getting somebody after. The future will tell if it was the right decision or not.

And we are still active in the transfer market and trying to bring players in.” Wenger also admitted the uncertainty over Sanchez’s future has taken its toll on the rest of the squad this season.

It is not losing players – teams are used to losing players. But it is the fact that you have uncertainty in the group – that they don’t know if he will be here or not.

Image result wey dey for lacazette arsenal It does raise major question marks about Alexandre Lacazette’s future because of the arrival of Aubameyang who is another out and out striker. But Wenger insists that he has a simple solution – to play them all. “How do I fit them in?”asked Wenger. “I just play the good players. They can always play together. Today all the players we had on the pitch were attacking players. Iwobi, Ozil, Wilshere, Lacazette, Xhaka – they are all offensive players.” Then when pressed on Aubameyang, Wenger added: “We are not as far as having to think about that. You create that problem at the moment! http://sportxclusive.com/2018/01/22/sanchez-joined-manchester-united-money-wenger/ |
