Manchester United is not a happy club at the moment.
The latest player to express his dissatisfaction with his lot is Alexis Sanchez, who has proved a major disappointment since his January move from Arsenal, scoring just three times, despite being on wages reported to be close to £500,000 a week.
He performed badly in the team’s home draw with Wolves and was publicly told by his manager Jose Mourinho that he would not play in the subsequent match away at West Ham. The Portuguese was true to his word and Sanchez did not even make the match day squad, although he was made to travel to London all the same.
Now reports suggest that the Chilean forward is beginning to regret his move to Old Trafford, and that he should have stayed at Arsenal, where he was a central figure, and not somebody relegated to the periphery.

He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
