Manchester United fans react to Alexis Sanchez's loan move to Inter Milan

Alexis Sanchez's imminent loan switch to Inter Milan has generated contrasting reactions from Manchester United fans.

The Chilean forward has endured a nightmare time after joining the club from Arsenal in January 2018, becoming United's highest paid player.

After scoring just five goals in 45 appearances, it was no surprise to see Sanchez slip down the pecking order at Old Trafford, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer preferring to hand opportunities to youngsters such as Mason Greenwood.

The 30-year-old is set to join Romelu Lukaku in ditching Manchester for Milan by completing a 10-month loan to Inter, without an option to buy after the spell, the MEN understands.

With United now short of experienced options in the final third, some fans feel that allowing Sanchez to depart was actually a mistake, given Anthony Martial also picked up an injury problem.

They took to social media to express their frustrations at the deal.

Ridiculous

No depth

Regret

Mistake

Potential 10

On the other hand, some fans were delighted to see the club finally find a suitor for the forward who failed to deliver during his time at Old Trafford.

They also expressed their relief at the decision on social media.

Disastrous

Perfect sense

Deadwood

Start of the rebuild

Bad energy
