Alexis Sánchez said he could not turn down the chance to work with José Mourinho after sealing his transfer from Arsenal to Manchester United in a deal that sees Henrikh Mkhitaryan move in the other direction, the press service of the Manchester United reported.

“I am thrilled to be joining the biggest club in the world. I have spent three-and-a-half wonderful years at Arsenal and I bring with me very positive memories of that great club and its fans. The chance to play in this historic stadium and to work with Jose Mourinho was something I could not turn down. I am very proud to be the first Chilean player ever to play for United’s first team and I hope I can show our fans all around the world why the club wanted to bring me here,” Alexis Sanchez said.

Manchester United wanted to buy Alexis Sanchez from Udinese in 2011, but he preferred to continue his career in Barcelona.
