Alexis Sanchez moved to Manchester United for the money, Patrice Evra suggests

Alexis Sanchez has been in dire form since the beginning of 2018

In total, the Chilean has scored just five goals in 45 appearances over the last 16 months.Speaking to Gary Neville in an interview for Sky Sports, former United left-back Evra said it is likely he was tempted by the wage slip on offer.“Some players only come for the money, I am not afraid to say that,” Evra said. “I have nothing against him, but Sanchez, when I saw the deal, that’s when I thought the Manchester United history just went down. He had Manchester City, they were offering less money but he was going to play a better football than United – I’m sorry about that, but City play better football. Guardiola will also improve him.“Don’t tell me he loved Manchester United when he was a kid.2

Alexis Sanchez has struggled for form since swapping Arsenal for Manchester United last year

“It’s either the money or he wanted to be the number one, take the no.7 shirt and be the star.”United chiefs are reportedly willing to give Sanchez, who has three years left on his bumper deal, a 13million pay-off to leave the club.
