Man Utd and Arsenal fans are all saying the same thing about Alexis Sanchez and Henrikh Mkhitaryan

Less than two years on from the swap deal involving Alexis Sanchez and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, neither player is still at the club they joined in January 2018.

Sanchez's loan switch to Inter Milan was confirmed last week, while Mkhitaryan arrived in Italy to undergo a medical with Roma on Monday morning.

The exchange between Manchester United and Arsenal was one of the most high-profile swap deals of all time when it took place but it did not work out for either player.

Sanchez scored just five goals in 45 appearances for United, while Mkhitaryan fared only slightly better, with nine goals in 59 games for the Gunners.

It would have been difficult to envisage the deal working out so poorly for both players at the time of its completion and some fans believe it should go down as the worst swap deal in history.

Disastrous.

Worst ever.

It has to be.

It's a close one.

No winner.

Sad state of affairs.

We can pretend.
