Alexis Sanchez will return to Manchester United next month and hand the club a £50million dilemma.
The Chile winger is due back at United on August 7 when his loan deal at Inter Milan officially runs out, with nearly two years remaining on his £25m-a-year contract at Old Trafford.
His refusal to take a pay cut will be a major stumbling block to securing another move, and it's understood that Sanchez also wants to stay in Europe rather than play in China or the Middle East.
The Chilean is on astronomical wages but hasn't lived up to the expectation at Old Trafford
Unless United can find a solution, they risk being stuck with the 31-year-old player and his astronomical salary until the contract ends on June 30, 2022.
