This guy was a bit part player in a Barcelona team so decided to go to Arsenal to get first team football. When faced with being the odd person out between himself, Sterling and Sane he took the money and ran to United.

Would have been a good icing on the cake player for us for a couple of seasons. Moving him on afterwards would have been difficult even with the wages we were going to be paying him, let the rags sort that payoff out not us.

Agree on that.
 
The most laughable aspect of this saga is the bizarre belief of so many rags that the Sanchez transfer has cost them nothing because 'no money has changed hands'. So it's just cost them the bulk of Mkhitaryan's £30 million transfer fee which hadn't been amortised, Sanchez's £20 million signing on fee and his agent's £15 million bung. I make that the thick end of £60 million. Plus the wages of circa £450,000 a week, apparently after tax, on a 4 1/2 year contract. I should be used to it now but the mind boglles at their ignorance, delusion and stupidity.

And utd will have settled Mkhitaryan's contract which is another reason the swap was delayed
Did he have two years remaining on £100k per week!
An estimate would then be a further £10M cost to the rags
