Sanchez Scarves On Sale Outside Old Trafford

Alexis Sanchez, Chile and former Arsenal forward, 29, will become Manchester United’s best-paid player on almost £600,000 a week — a basic wage of £350,000, £100,000 image rights and £144,000 in bonuses.

In the same vein, it is safe to say Manchester United fans are certainly excited about Alexis Sanchez's arrival — so much so that they were already buying his scarves.

The Chile star's arrival from Arsenal, with Henrikh Mkhitaryan heading the opposite direction, was expected to be announced on Monday.

But, avid United followers did not waste any time in celebrating the stunning move, and were keen to show off their support outside Old Trafford.

A scarf-seller was seen outside the Theatre of Dreams, and had a particular design which Red Devils fans were intent on getting their hands on as soon as possible.

Sanchez's face was emblazoned on the scarf, with the words “United and Chile” making it clear who the Chilean will now ply his trade for.
