Alexis Sanchez Officially Joins Manchester United, Henrikh Mkhitaryan Joins Arsenal

Alexis Sanchez has finally been unveiled as a Manchester United player.

The Red Devils announced that the Chilean has penned a long-term deal at Old Trafford after leaving fierce rivals Arsenal.

Midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan has joined Arsenal as part of the deal.

Henrikh made 39 appearances while at Manchester United, scoring five times and was part of their UEFA Europa League winning squad last season. He is the captain of the Armenian national team and is their all-time top scorer. He has also received the Armenian Footballer of the Year award eight times.

United unveiled the signing of Sanchez on Twitter with the forward playing "Glory, glory Man United" on the piano.

And speaking of the transfer, the ex-Barcelona man told United's official site: "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.”

It is believed Sanchez is now the highest paid player in British football history pocketing around a stunning £500,000-a-week.
