Alexis Sanchez completed his move to Man Utd on Monday, and he may well have left an Arsenal legend in a big hole after his comments in an Instagram post.
The 29-year-old moved to Old Trafford in a deal that saw Henrikh Mkhitaryan move in the opposite direction to join the Gunners, with both clubs officially announcing the deal, as per BBC Sport.
However, one aspect of Sanchez’s farewell has angered some supporters, as he claims to have had a conversation with Thierry Henry and dropped a hint that perhaps he was leaving the club for the same reason as the Frenchman who moved on to join Barcelona after a glittering spell in north London.
‘There are people (former club players) who have spoken with no knowledge of what happens inside the club and cause damage,” he noted in the post seen below.
‘I remember today, a conversation I had with Henry, a historic Arsenal player, who changed club for the same reason and today is my turn.”
As seen in the tweets below, some supporters are far from impressed with Henry as they’ve perceived it as a discussion to support Sanchez’s decision to leave north London to go on and further his career by winning more trophies, while this isn’t the first controversy the Frenchman has been involved in as mentioned by one of the users below.
Given what he did for the club, scoring 226 goals in 369 games, winning two Premier League titles and two FA Cups during a seven-year spell which also included the ‘Invincibles’ year, it seems a bit harsh.
However, it has been a build-up of issues, and it seems some supporters want drastic action…
