Alexis-Mkhitaryan, one year on: The most underwhelming swap deal in history?

Both players will be looking to remind their current clubs just why they signed them as Arsenal face United in the FA Cup on Friday

Manchester United’s Twitter account published a tweet on Tuesday morning which marked the first anniversary of their signing of Alexis Sanchez. The general reaction from users demonstrated just how much of a disaster the Chilean has been at Old Trafford over the past 12 months.

“Can’t wait for his debut” replied one fan. “When will he turn up to play?” wrote another. “Got to admit the best play (sic) he done for Utd was playing the piano” sniped a third critic.
