Alexis Sanchez revealed: I wanted to leave Manchester United after my first training session with the team.

Alexis moved to United from Arsenal in 2018 in an extraordinary deal: since arriving for free he received an oil signing grant and a salary of £ 560,000 a week, but failed to recover his fine days from London and scored just 5 goals in 45 appearances before moving to Inter on loan. Reveals: Already in training on Sunday under Jose Mourinho he wanted to return to Arsenal.

"I want to tell you about my time at United," he said in a video on his Instagram, "about a lot of things that were said and made me look bad.

I got a chance to move to United, and it seemed tempting to me.

It was nice for me because as a kid I really liked this club.

I ended up signing without knowing much information about what happened during the transition.

The first few days you are with your teammates, sometimes there are things you do not grasp until you arrive.

"In the first training I had, I realized a lot of things. I got home and called my agents - 'Can I cancel the contract and go back to Arsenal?'. They started laughing. I told them something was wrong with me. It was already signed."

Alexis, who a year before joining United was one of the outstanding players in the Premier League, spoke of his feelings in light of the decline.

"There was a game against West Ham that I was not on the squad. It never happened to me as a player. It bothered me, and I said it was impossible. To move from being one of the best players in the league, to a player not playing. I came home very sad. The next day I had double training because I Love what I do. "

Mourinho was sacked a few weeks later, and Alexis referred to his replacement Ola Gunnar Solskjaer: "Then a new coach came, and I decided to talk to him. I told him I needed to take a break, and that I had a chance to move to Inter. He told me it was okay, and that there were no problems."

Alexis claims things said about him angered him: "Journalists said all sorts of things without them knowing, and it bothered me, it hurts. Past players who have no idea what's going on inside the club expressed their opinion and did me harm, saying it was my fault. They had to blame. Someone, so blame me.

"I have only words of thanks to say to United, for giving me the opportunity to wear her shirt.

It bothered me a lot that things did not work out as I had hoped.

Maybe if the atmosphere had been more positive, things would have looked different.

I say this now because I have already gone through a period of learning about myself as an actor and as a person.

I wish I could win everything possible there. "
