Alexis Sanchez
Alexis Sanchez has gone down in history as one of United’s worst signings of all time. That would’ve sounded crazy while luring him from Arsenal on a free transfer in January 2018.
United beat Manchester City to his signature by offering a staggering £500,000 a week, with Henrikh Mkhitaryan going the other way in a swap deal.
Fan hype was off the scales – that piano announcement only intensified the anticipation. But it soon became clear that he was beyond his best, scoring five goals in 45 appearances across two seasons.
It worked out as over £4m per goal, a damning representation of United’s failure under former executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward’s watch.
