The 29-year-old Sanchez, who was out of contract at Arsenal at the end of the season, has joined the Old Trafford club after local rivals Manchester City had pulled out of the race.

Sanchez is expected to be the highest ever paid player in the Premier League, with British media reporting a pre-tax salary of £500,000 (S$922,000) a week.

Sanchez had joined Arsenal in 2014 for £31.7 million after three years at Barcelona.

He wrote: "There are people (former club players) who have spoken with no knowledge of what happens inside the club and cause damage".

'Sanchez is a pro and loves football, he gave his maximum for Arsenal and will do for Manchester United'. The Chilean also revealed the chance to work with Jose Mourinho was a huge factor in his decision. Welcome to Manchester United.

Sanchez will partner Romelu Lukaku in the United forward line, with England strikers Marcus Rashford, 20, and the in-form Jesse Lingard, 25, forced to fight for their places.

"Alexis is one of the best attacking players in the world and he will complete our very young and talented group of attacking players", said Mourinho.

In one video which was posted to YouTube to welcome Mkhitaryan to the Gunners, supporters reckon they've spotted a message.

Mkhitaryan was Bundesliga player of the year with Borussia Dortmund in 2015-16, earning him a £28m move to United.

"I'm very happy that we could finish this deal and I'm very happy to be here. He is a player that we will not forget, especially for his contribution to our Europa League victory". Sanchez is not cup tied as he did not feature for Arsenal in their 4-2 defeat to Nottingham Forest in their third round of the FA cup and therefore eligible to play in the fourth-round tie at Huish Park.

Asked whether Sanchez was close to signing a new long-term deal at Arsenal previous year, Wenger smiled and said: 'I do not want to go back on the history of his negotiations, maybe one day.

Arsenal boss Wenger said he was happy to acquire Mkhitaryan in the deal.

'I took him to the hotel [on Friday evening] and he was completely focused and ready to play the next day until I told him: "go home, the deal is over the line".
