With a dismal loan spell at Inter Milan destined to come to an underwhelming end, Manchester United are facing the prospect of shelling out yet more cash on flop Alexis Sanchez.
His move to Old Trafford is one of the worst in Premier League history, certainly in terms of cost. Since his arrival in January 2018 they have wasted an eye-watering £64.65m when weekly wages, appearance fees, signing-on fees and annual loyalty bonuses are taken into account.
It is just over two years since United splashed the cash to entice Sanchez from Arsenal and fend off interest from fierce rivals Manchester City.
