How much Alexis Sanchez has earned at Manchester United since Arsenal transfer

Manchester United are counting the costs of signing Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal 16 months ago.

After a three-and-a-half stay with the Gunners came to an end at the start of 2018, Sanchez's form has rapidly declined.

A study from talkSPORT has investigated just how much the Chilean has earned per appearance and goal so far during time with the Red Devils.

According to Football Leaks, who have been quoted by the Daily Mail, Sanchez is the club's highest-paid player on £391,000 per week.

On top of that, he is also reportedly earning £75,000 per appearance, as well as an annual signing-on fee of £1.1 million.

To date, Sanchez has made 44 appearances under for United thus far and will make his 45th appearance against Huddersfield Town this afternoon as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side look to maintain their hope of a top four finish.

However, the Chile international has only found the net five times in that spell, costing them over £5m each time he has found the back of the next.

In total, Sanchez has already earned roughly around £25m during his Old Trafford career so far, however, his lack of goals for the club may suggest that his performances on the pitch have not warranted his multi-million pound earnings.

His arrival has initially resulted in reduced the game time for the likes of Marcus Rashford and in particular, Anthony Martial, but he has been more of an onlooker under Solskjaer.

Prior to his troublesome start to life with United, Sanchez starred in Arsenal's side under Arsene Wenger between 2014 and 2018, scoring 80 goals and providing 45 assists during his 166 appearances for The Gunners.

He lifted the FA Cup trophy twice with the club in 2015 and 2017, scoring in both finals against Aston Villa and Chelsea respectively.

However, by the same time Sanchez had exited the club 16 months ago, many Arsenal supporters were glad to see the back of him due to a number of attitude problems.
