Alexis Sanchez has made a quick impact off the field as well as on it, with the January signing breaking Manchester United’s shirt sales and social media records.
The Chilean had long been expected to join Premier League leaders Manchester City as his Arsenal contract ran down, only for Jose Mourinho’s men to swoop in and snaffle the forward last month.
Sanchez joined in a deal that saw Henrikh Mkhitaryan go the other way, and last weekend he marked his Old Trafford debut with a man-of-the-match display and a goal as Huddersfield were beaten 2-0.
