Manchester United completed the signing of Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal
in a deal that sees the Armenian midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan move in
the opposite direction.
Sanchez said in his first interview : “I am thrilled to be joining
the biggest club in the world. I have spent three-and-a-half wonderful
years at Arsenal and I bring with me very positive memories of that
great club and its fans.
“The chance to play in this historic stadium and to work with Jose
Mourinho was something I could not turn down. I am very proud to be the
first Chilean player ever to play for United’s first team and I hope I
can show our fans all around the world why the club wanted to bring me
here.”
Jose Mourinho commented: “Alexis is one of the best-attacking players
in the world and he will complete our very young and talented group of
attacking players. He will bring his ambition, drive and personality,
qualities that make a Manchester United player and a player that makes
the team stronger and the supporters proud of their club dimension and
prestige.
“I would like to wish Henrikh all the success and happiness that I am
sure he is going to get. He is a player that we will not forget,
especially for his contribution to our Europa League victory.”
