Jose Mourinho Hails 'Very Good' Alexis Sanchez Deal, Talks Man City Withdrawal

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has insisted Alexis Sanchez did not decide to move to Old Trafford because of money given other clubs could have offered just as much as United.

Per Sky Sports' Joe Shread, Sanchez has signed a deal worth £350,000 per week at Old Trafford, but Mourinho said the huge contract was not the reason the forward decided to join the club instead of City:

"I don't know. I know that if other clubs didn't get it it's not a problem of money for sure. You go and analyse the numbers and Manchester City, Chelsea, even Everton spend more money than us.
