Alexis Sanchez leaves Manchester United: The highs and (mostly) lows of his time at Old Trafford

Manchester United have finally said farewell to Alexis Sanchez, bringing an end to a truly regrettable period in the club's recent history.

It was confirmed on Thursday that Sanchez had completed his permanent move to Inter Milan on a free transfer, an underwhelming final act in one of the worst-ever signings at Old Trafford.

The transfer will bring to an end the Chilean's hugely underwhelming two-and-a-half years as a United player, a full year of which was spent farmed out on loan at Inter.

Sanchez joined United from Arsenal in January 2018 in a much-heralded deal that saw Henrikh Mkhitaryan move the other way and has now become a cautionary case study over the wisdom of swap deals.
