Man Utd paid fortune to Alexis in bonuses

Inter Milan striker Alexis Sanchez reportedly pocketed nearly £5m in bonuses from his dismal campaign last season with Manchester United.

Sanchez was shipped out on loan to Inter Milan this summer after a dismal campaign for United which saw him score just two goals in 27 appearances.

The Chilean forward joined United to huge fanfare in January 2018, signing as the club's top earner on £400,000.

The Sun says despite flopping last season, he picked up a whopping £4,920,011 in performance-related bonuses and image rights.

That is the equivalent of a staggering £100,000 a week.

Inter are currently paying half of Sanchez's wages after United managed to offload the 30-year-old during the summer.
