Sanchez ends United nightmare after signing permanent deal with Inter
Manchester United forward Alexis Sanchez has left the club on a free transfer to join Inter Milan, where he was loaned last year.
The Chilean, who signed three-year deal with Inter, will receive a small pay-off from United after agreeing to waive the final two years of his £560k-per-week contract.
His departure marked the end of a disappointing two-and-a-half year run at Old Trafford, where he arrived in a swap deal involving Henrikh Mkhitaryan from Arsenal. He scored only five goals in 45 appearances for the Red Devils.
After confirming Sanchez's exit, a United statement read: "Everyone at Manchester United wishes Alexis Sanchez all the best in his future career as he joins Inter Milan on a permanent transfer."
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer addressed Sanchez's move following United's win over LASK in the Europa League on Thursday, saying: "They've liked him, so of course that's a good move for him.
"Wish him all the best. He's a top player that we want to see play his best football. For whatever reason we didn't see the best of Alexis, but he's a top professional and we just wish him all the best."
