Man Utd news: Arsene Wenger reveals Alexis Sanchez’s outrageous salary figures
The Chilean joined Man Utd from Arsenal in a straight-swap deal involving Henrikh Mkhitaryan. Wenger is apparently gutted to have lost his star player and has explained that he has made a mistake. The Frenchman was speaking at a Q&A session for the club's executive box holders when he claimed if he “had his time again” then he would have sold Sanchez to Manchester City in the summer. The Blues submitted a £60million bid which was knocked back by the Gunners.

Wenger was also asked about Sanchez’s wage at Old Trafford, which was believed to be £500,000-a-week. But the Arsenal boss pointed upwards towards the ceiling when he was asked if the figure was £600,000-a-week, indicating it was even more, according to the Mirror. Gunners fans then tabled questions about the manager’s future, which he evaded, despite having 18 months left on his contract.
