• Mkhitaryan joins Arsenal as part of
the deal
Manchester United is delighted to
announce the signing of Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal in a deal that sees the
Armenian midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan move in the opposite direction.
Speaking about his transfer, Alexis
Sanchez said: “I am thrilled to be joining the biggest club in the world. I
have spent three-and-a-half wonderful years at Arsenal and I bring with me very
positive memories of that great club and its fans. The chance to play in this
historic stadium and to work with Jose Mourinho was something I could not turn
down. I am very proud to be the first Chilean player ever to play for United’s
first team and I hope I can show our fans all around the world why the club
wanted to bring me here.”
Jose Mourinho commented: “Alexis is one
of the best attacking players in the world and he will complete our very young
and talented group of attacking players. He will bring his ambition, drive and
personality, qualities that make a Manchester United player and a player that
makes the team stronger and the supporters proud of their club dimension and
prestige.
“I would like to wish Henrikh all the
success and happiness that I am sure he is going to get. He is a player that we
will not forget, especially for his contribution to our Europa League victory.”
