He didn't even play well. If I were building a championship club for success I probably wouldn't include Sanchez.

Is there any source for that? Seems way too low.
As football leaks mentioned, he's on 391k/week contract, plus start bonuses (75k) and annual signing on fee of another million or so.
That's at least 21-22m/year without bonuses. 13m is worth like 1/6th of his contract, which is until 2022.
Pay him up and get him gone, a complete disaster and has no place at our club anymore.
It must mean us paying half his starting salary? The start bonus won't count, in fact, it hasn't counted for quite a while. First start today for many months I think.

As much as Ed knows nothing of football, he knows a lot about money. Sanchez will have an early release clause in his contract if things don't work out. £13m sounds reasonable for all parties. We wouldn't have handed him that contract knowing we'd have to pay out the full amount if he was shit.
I hope you're right. It would be great!
He's somehow managed to become one of my favourite ever non-united players and at the same time become one of my least favourite ever united players.
I reckon he's physically fine but once again just didn't fancy it today. The whole sorry saga has been an absolute shambles.
Tbh I'm gonna pretend we never signed him, I doubt we'll see him again anyway

45 games...5 goals. Even if you thought he was losing it a bit in his final (half) season with Arsenal no one could have anticipated this. Worse than Di Maria by far.
He looked decent early on, even the commentator mentioned how lively he was.
But his time here is jinxed. Mis firing team, him either in bad form or terminal decline, and injuries on top.
Needs a move away. I wonder if he might even write some of the wages off to get away.

Yep, even Di Maria had a terrific month!
Manchester United are prepared to continue paying half of floundering forward Alexis Sanchez's £26m salary
Well, it basically says we're willing to pay 50% of his salary, doesn't say neither for how long nor if it's a one-time payment only.
Let's just hope that some Chinese club will come to the rescue.
That article is saying it would cost us £13m just to subsidise his wages while we loan him out for a season. It's nothing to do with terminating his contract, that would cost far more.
Or just basically tell him he won't be playing for us again so it's up to him to either sit on his ass collecting money, or he takes a lower wage and goes elsewhere. We have to work something out with him because he must go.
I thought Sanchez was United best player first half, and I also thought he looked "on" in his latest cameos. I felt he was on in way up just before his last injury, and I´m happy to see he´s continuing where he left. Sanchez in form is still good enough I can see him contributing a lot more next season if he´s staying.
No white text...
I'm with those that thought he looked good first half. Maybe it was the opposition but he looked better on the ball, did some good passes and moved along quite nicely. Sad to see him injured again as I was hoping to see him end the season with some confidence building.

New member, simple conclusion is a Liverpool fan trying to be funny as i see no other rationale for the post.No white text...
His touch was there today.
That's about all I can say.
That's about all I can say.
Please let today be the last time he ever plays for us
Just goes to show how his body has packed up now.
Even when he plays "okay", he can't even last an hour without something going.
Absolutely finished at this level. No hope at all.

Well, I´m not taking into account his salary when giving him my rating. For today´s match, people on this forum are giving him 3,1 in average, which does not mirror his performance. He was United most aggressive player, and on several occasions he won the ball back in good position for United, plus he was involved in pretty much everything United created first half.
Even Michael Owen wore the Number 7 shirt with more distinction.
The most spineless cnut that has ever played for us; worse than Di Maria who at least seemed to give a shit and played well for the early stages. It is disgusting what we are paying him.
Come on. He’s been hugely disappointing but to say he doesn’t give a shit? He always tries his best, it’s just that his best is pretty shit these days, sadly. He’s not one for ambling around or never showing for the bell.
What a disappointing signing he’s been. Really thought he’d propel us up another level (or two).
Yeah perhaps I was being unfair. But the fall from grace was so drastic that it can't just be down to a complete loss of ability. Think the pay check might have made him a bit too comfortable.

You know, when Valencia was given the number 7 shirt, I was underwhelmed. Then Owen was given the number 7 shirt and I thought SAF was taking the piss. Now we have Coco the fecking clown wearing it, Jones or Young will be wearing it next, you watch.
It's not even got that magic to it anymore has it? 'Hey Sancho, you fancy joining us? We'll let you wear the number 7 shirt like the greats before you, you know, Sanchez, Depay, Di Maria'.

Gabriel Obertan was a better buy really...
I'd retire the shirt, it's not worth the risk in giving it to another player in case they turn out like any of the last 5 to have it.
Our worst ever signing.
It's not even close IMO.

He's been good today, maybe our best player during the first half. Honestly I dont understand somme comments, Alexis always works hard on the pitch, agressive, and team mentality. Unfortunately his best days are behind him.
There's been some worst signings under Ferguson: Bebe, Kleberson, Djemba-Djemba to name a few.
We'd have literally been better off signing any generic winger from any PL team, and I mean any.
Congratulations. He has been awarded the worst transfer ever title at Manchester United.
They were easily removed. For the money and damage it has done clubwise, sanchez likely is the biggest mistake signing weve made
I lost word on why he struggles this much, and I am not sure if there is any club will take him given his wages anymore. He is even harder to move on than Bale.
We were desperate to outbid City remember.
I doubt Ed for even a second thought he'd turn into a poorer version of latter day Rooney.
It's our most expensive mistake in 3 decades.
Alexis is easily worse than these signing. On the pitch he's done next to nothing but off the pitch, his signing's implications are devastating us
Easily the worst transfer ever at United.
He is a joke at this stage and the sooner he leaves the better.
Epic epic mistake

At least Valencia had the sense and decency to ask for his old number back after losing form having been given the 7.
He needs to be forced out akin to how Fergie forced out the likes of Barthez when he was deemed surplus to requirements
He needs to be stripped of the number 7 shirt and told he's surplus to requirements
The 25% wage cut he now has to take may at least make it possible to get him out somewhere on loan, whether Serie A or La Liga. I imagine he'd be on £295k a week basic now, maybe Atletico or Inter may take a risk on him, paying half his wages.
£8M a season may be seen as a risk worth taking for them
We can only hope
