Alexis Sanchez makes brutal Man City remark as he reflects on Man Utd transfer

Alexis Sanchez believes he would have won the Champions League with Manchester City if he turned down Manchester United, claiming he would have "done something" in a final.

Sanchez, 34, joined the Red Devils from Arsenal in January 2018 after rejecting the chance to sign for Pep Guardiola at the Etihad. The Chile international was expected to join City and surprised English football when he accepted an offer from United instead.

Sanchez endured a difficult 18-month spell at Old Trafford before joining Inter Milan, initially on loan, in August 2019. The forward insists he does not regret choosing United over City, but his Champions League quip suggests a gulf in quality between the two teams. United have not reached the semi-finals of UEFA's premier club competition since 2011.
