The former star of Gunners witness “complications” for the forward of Chilean at Old Trafford. He believes that another transfer may be needed in January Alexis Sanchez was told that he had to stay at Arsenal, with Robert Pires accepting the fact that “complications” prevailing at the Manchester United club may force one more move in the month of January.

He made his way to the team through the exits at Emirates Stadium in the last winter window because of his contract in ran down north London. For his signature, Jose Mourinho won the scramble with the 29-year making his way to Old Trafford that too on a contract, which is lucrative. He was taken as the major coup for the Red Devils team, but he has struggled for form and right now he is nursing an injury which is stopping him from rediscovering his spark.

According to Pires, leaving Arsenal was the biggest mistake of Sanchez with the former star of Gunners telling El Mercurio that Alexis was really good. He is an excellent footballer, but other than the footballer, I know him as a person as well. And, now after knowing him so well, I can say that I love that I know him, he is one of my good friends. For his professionalism, he stands out and that has helped the team of Arsenal to win several titles.

“Honestly, this was a surprise for me. Sanchez had to stay at Arsenal; he was one of our best stars.” He further added “I am not aware if he could say no to the club United, but according to me his play style of the London club outfits his performances better. However, it is important that you respect his decision.”
