Alexis Sanchez reveals that he enquired about leaving Manchester United after just one training session in January 2018.

Alexis Sanchez has revealed that he was open to leaving Manchester United after just one training session with the club.

In January 2018, Sanchez was involved in a swap deal which saw Henrikh Mkhitaryan move in the opposite direction to Arsenal, a double transfer which did not pay off for either team.

Sanchez has since completed a permanent switch to Inter Milan, a deal which materialised after he spent the 2019-20 campaign at San Siro.

However, the Chile international has revealed that he wanted to depart Old Trafford before having played a single game for the North-West giants.

Speaking to followers on Instagram, the attacker said: "I accepted the opportunity to go to United, it felt tempting and it was something good for me, I liked this club a lot when I was a kid. Eventually I signed but I didn't ask for information on what was happening inside the club.

"Sometimes there are things that you don't realise until you get there, and I remember the first training session I had, I realised a lot of things.

"After the session I got home and I told my family and my agent 'can you not rip up the contract to go back to Arsenal?'. They laughed, I told them there's something that doesn't sit right, it doesn't seem good.

"But I already signed, I was already there. After the first few months I carried on having the same feeling, we weren't united as a team in that moment."

Sanchez only scored five goals from 45 appearances in all competitions for United.
