Former Chelsea and Manchester United manager who is now the head coach of AS Roma coach Jose Mourinho has discussed Alexis Sanchez’s difficulties at Manchester United. According to the manager who signed Sanchez from Arsenal in January 2018, with Henrikh Mkhitaryan moving in the opposite direction, he said he has discovered now that the English Premier League is not for the Chilean international.
Jose Mourinho Says the EPL was Never Sanchez Place
The forward had enjoyed a sensational spell with the Gunners, where he had contributed an incredible 80 goals and 45 assists in 166 matches before joining Manchester United, but he struggled at Old Trafford. He had been heavily linked with a move to Manchester City but eventually linked up with Mourinho in the red half of the city, where he was handed huge wages.
Jose Mourinho said: “I spoke with him before the start of the game.” “In England, he was not in his natural habitat. Here at Inter, he is happy and where he belongs.” Alexis scored in Inter’s Coppa Italia win against Roma this week and Mourinho added: “It was a great goal and it changed the direction of the game, but there was a foul in midfield at the beginning of the move and the referee should’ve checked it on VAR.”
