Man Utd confirm Sanchez's departure on permanent basis

 

Manchester United have confirmed Alexis Sanchez has joined Serie A outfit Inter on a permanent deal.

 

Sanchez has spent the season on loan with Inter and Antonio Conte's side have now secured his services on a three-year deal.

 

The 31-year-old agreed to rip up his United contract and take a huge wage reduction in order to secure a permanent transfer to Inter.

 

Sanchez still had two years left to run on his eye-watering £500,000-a-week deal with the Red Devils but had no future at the club under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

 

After a slow start to life at Inter, Sanchez showed signs of his old self after the restart and helped the Italian giants finish one point behind champions Juventus.

 

Sanchez's loan deal with Inter was due to expire on Friday but now the versatile forward is available for the rest of their Europa League campaign.

 

 

Sanchez played a direct hand in more Serie A goals for Inter in one season (12) as he managed in the Premier League in 18 months at United (9).

 

Moreover, Sanchez registered more assists (8) than any other Inter player in Serie A this season despite only starting 10 games.
