Bizarre Alexis Sanchez story: Manchester United star ‘ran eight kilometres home’ after locking his keys in his car during career at Udinese

Manchester United star Alexis Sanchez decided to run eight kilometres home after locking his keys in his car following training at former club Udinese.

That’s the story from an Italian journalist who tracked Sanchez’s progress during his time with Serie A club.

Sanchez’s career began in his native South America before he joined Udinese aged 20.

He shone in three years in Italy and earned a move to Spanish giants Barcelona, where he won six trophies, before moving to England with Arsenal in 2014. He added two FA Cups to his haul of silverware with the Gunners before becoming the Premier League’s highest-paid player when he joined Manchester United in January.
