I’m an ex-Man Utd star with £116m in career earnings and fans made banners for my dogs – now I’m unemployed at 34
FORMER Manchester United star Alexis Sanchez is still on the lookout for a new club following his release from Marseille.
The veteran forward scored 14 Ligue 1 goals last season but remains unemployed almost a month after leaving.
SunSport understands Sanchez is desperate for a Premier League return.
Arsenal were tipped to make an audacious swoop for their ex-striker.
Sanchez scored 80 goals during a three-and-a-half year spell in North London before joining the Red Devils in 2017.
He reportedly spoke to Mikel Arteta about a return but was knocked back by the Spaniard, who wants to build a young squad and chose to sign Kai Havertz instead.
