Manchester United are looking to send Alexis Sanchez out on loan for next season, with boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer not interested in fighting to keep the forward at Old Trafford, as exclusively revealed by The Sun.
What’s the word, then?
Well, the Chilean international has managed to score just five goals since arriving at the club in January 2018, and has been a complete and utter flop for the Red Devils.
United will struggle to offload the 30-year-old on a permanent basis as a result of his huge salary – roughly £391,000-a-week and potentially £500,000-a-week with bonuses – and may look to see if another club would be willing to take him on loan and share the burden that is his astronomical wages.
Who will be the next ‘Big 6’ manager to be sacked? The Pl>ymaker FC squad all seem to agree on one name. Find out who in the video below…
The former Arsenal man has just over three years left on his contract with the club, which is a worrying aspect for United as they could potentially be held to ransom by the attacker unless they terminate his contract, or somehow manage to find someone happy to take on his wages.
Causing disharmony amongst the squad
Obviously, when you have a player performing so ineffectively like Sanchez is, whilst also earning a considerable amount more than his teammates, there are sure to be questions asked behind the scenes.
This has been backed up by David De Gea’s recent refusal to sign a new contract worth a huge £350,000-a-week, as the Spaniard is reportedly keen to be placed on the same wage as Sanchez to reflect his vastly superior contribution to the team.
It could even be argued convincingly that players such as Scott McTominay are more valuable to the team than the South American, which will have almost every player at the club’s agent salivating at what they could demand for their client.
If United don’t solve the Sanchez dilemma soon, it could severely impact the squad’s morale and affect performances on the pitch – the former Barcelona man is becoming a virus at Old Trafford, and one that cannot be allowed to set in and contaminate the players even more.
