Alexis Sanchez is not a mercenary, but if I wanted to be a better striker I would not join Jose Mourinho... Manchester United is a wrong move for him
20/01/18 10:30MICHAEL OWEN: There is clearly one reason why Sanchez is choosing United over City. Naturally he wants to maximise his earnings but I’m still surprised he would opt for Jose Mourinho.
