Manchester United’s stars have expressed their delight at the departure of Alexis Sanchez on a season-long loan to Inter Milan.

The Chilean endured a miserable spell at Old Trafford after joining from Arsenal in a swap deal with Henrikh Mkhitaryan in Juanuary 2018.

Despite much fanfare upon his arrival for a salary worth around £500,000 a week, the winger scored just five goals in 45 games.

His team-mates have, according to The Sun, been angered by his mammoth salary and disappointing contributions on the pitch.

One player reportedly said: ‘He was no Messi so why pay him all that dough.’

Manchester United are also reportedly subsidising around £400,00-a-week of his salary to ensure he left the club.

The former Barcelona man will spend the upcoming season at the San Siro, reuniting with former Old Trafford striker Romelu Lukaku.
