Manchester United<\/a> flop Alexis Sanchez<\/a> has been linked with a shock Premier League<\/a> move, according to FCInterNews.it via the Manchester Evening News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Manchester United Flop Alexis Sanchez Linked With Shock Premier League Move<\/h2>\n

Great For Arsenal<\/h3>\n

After a January 2018 move to Old Trafford, there was much excitement over the impact that Alexis Sanchez would have at Manchester United.<\/p>\n

The Chilean had been tremendous for Arsenal<\/a>, having scored 24 league goals in 2016\/17 and made great contributions prior to that. He was one of the Gunners\u2019 best players of the decade,<\/a> and a swap deal for Henrikh Mkhitaryan<\/a>,\u00a0valued<\/a> at roughly half of his Transfermarkt<\/a> market value, seemed a little unflattering.<\/p>\n

Flop for United<\/h3>\n

Despite his form not having slowed at Arsenal, it came to a dead stop in Manchester.<\/p>\n

The Chilean winger never really settled in at United, scoring just five goals in 45 appearances. Furthermore, he did not look like the world-class player who the Red Devils had seen play for Arsenal.<\/p>\n

No Better at Inter Milan<\/h3>\n

Sanchez, like Chris Smalling<\/a>, was loaned out to Italy last summer, despite his experience. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer<\/a> was looking to reignite the former Arsenal player\u2019s career, and although it worked for Smalling, Sanchez has not done so well.<\/p>\n

Injury has hampered his time in Milan, but despite appearing 15 times, he has scored just once. This shocking record has deterred Inter from wanting to sign Sanchez on a permanent basis.<\/p>\n

United, however, are unwilling to have him return to United with his immensely high wages, and West Ham United<\/a> seem to have offered them a lifeline.<\/p>\n

West Ham United Want United Flop Sanchez<\/h3>\n

The report suggests that West Ham have come forward and been in contact with the United attacker\u2019s agent to enquire about his availability.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils would be happy to wave goodbye to the high salary and low performance-quality of Sanchez, and the Hammers would love to have someone with so much talent play for them, but the 31-year-old may demand wages that the London side cannot afford.<\/p>\n
