‘At no time did I tell Alexis Sanchez to leave Arsenal’ – Thierry Henry defends himself

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has come out to defend himself from angry Arsenal fans, saying that he was not responsible for making Alexis Sanchez choose Manchester United and leave the Gunners.

Henry has come under fire of late following Sanchez’s confession of how they spoke before he eventually completed a move to Old Trafford.

Sanchez, after signing for Man United, told reporters that before he made the decision, he spoke to Henry since the Frenchman also went through the same thing before moving to La Liga giants FC Barcelona in 2007.

Jose Mourinho heaped praise on Sanchez after his move, saying the Chilean is one of the best attacking players in the world and will be a great addition to the young Man United squad.

Sanchez is now the highest-paid player in England, clicking 600,000 thousand euros in a week before tax.

He could make his debut for Jose Mourinho’s side on Friday when they travel to Huish Park to face minnows Yeovil Town in the FA Cup.
