Alexis Sanchez immediately regretted joining Manchester United in 2018, wanting to terminate his contract and return to Arsenal after just one training session. The Chilean forward arrived at Arsenalfrom Barcelona in 2014, quickly becoming a standout performer with an FA Cup triumph and 25 goals in his first season, earning him the club’s Player of the Year award.
Despite a dip in form the second year, he bounced back with a 24-goal haul before facing a crucial decision in 2018 with interest from Manchester City – and United hot on his heels.
“I accepted the opportunity to go to United, it felt tempting, and it was something good for me,” Sanchez confessed in 2020. “I liked this club a lot when I was a kid. Eventually, I signed, but I didn’t ask for information on what was happening inside the club.
“Sometimes there are things that you don’t realise until you get there, and I remember the first training session I had, I realised a lot of things.
