SANCHEZ MAKES STARTLING UNITED CLAIM

Manchester United flop Alexis Sanchez has sensationally admitted he wanted to leave and return to Arsenal after his first training session.

The forward admits he was rushed into the move and in a video on Instagram has explained his side of the story.

Sanchez said: “I accepted the opportunity to go to United. It felt tempting and it was something good for me.

“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.”
