Misfit in a United shirt.

It’s what happens when you offer a shitload more money to a player compared to the competition. Di Maria is another example. Preferred to go to PSG but we made such a stupid offer he couldn’t refuse and came for the money. Which must be what happened with Sanchez. If he’d preferred us over city there’d have been no need to offer the player so much more than city offered.
Should be a strategy going forward that united only match the competition’s offer. Then if the player chooses united it isn’t purely because of money. And if they decide to go elsewhere it’s a lucky escape for us, as Sanchez and Di Maria would have been had we only matched the city and PSG offers and the players subsequently chose them over us.

He wanted to leave arsenal for a huge pay increase in the latter years of his career. Achieved his goal. Hunger satisfied. He’s happy as £#%&!. It’s like Giggs playing brilliantly when playing for a new contract then slipping back into his comfort zone once he had it. It’s not a conscious thing.
