Alexis Sanchez issues 204-word statement blasting Arsenal legends who criticised him and 'cause damage' as he thanks fans, staff and team-mates after Manchester United move

Alexis Sanchez posted a farewell statement on Instagram criticising Arsenal legends who questioned his commitment to the club, after completing his £35m move to Manchester United on Monday.

The Chile star's protracted move to Old Trafford was resolved after Henrikh Mkhitaryan moved to the Emirates as part of the agreement.

Sanchez's attitude and commitment to the Gunners has been regularly criticised by club legends this season but the forward insisted their comments 'cause damage' and that he 'always gave 100%' for the north London club.
