Manchester United may be about to get Alexis Sanchez off their hands but they will still be saddled with an enormous wage bill, according to reports.

Sanchez has become a figure of ridicule at United since joining from Arsenal in January 2018, scoring just three league goals in 32 appearances and increasingly being confined to the bench or the stands.

The club have been trying to find a club for Sanchez but his enormous wages have hamstrung their efforts to offload him with the player understandably unwilling to accept a massive pay cut.

 The Chile international is at last set to join Inter Milan along with fellow United outcast Romelu Lukaku, but the Mail claim it will not be saving Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side much money at all as they have only been able to agree a loan move for the forward.
