Both player­s comple­te their transf­er in a swap deal on MondayLONDON: Alexis Sanchez said Monday he was “thrilled to be joining the biggest club in the world” as he moved to Manchester United from Arsenal in a swap deal with Henrikh Mkhitaryan. “There are people (former club players) who have spoken with no knowledge of what happens inside the club and cause damage,” Sanchez wrote. In a statement issued by United, Sanchez said he had spent “three-and-a-half wonderful years” at Arsenal “and I bring with me very positive memories of that great club and its fans”. Mkhitaryan told the Arsenal website he had “always dreamed of playing for Arsenal”. Reports in Germany say striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could be on his way to Arsenal from Borussia Dortmund as well.
