Mkhitaryan to miss cup match against Chelsea

Speaking to MUTV, Sanchez said: “He [Mourinho] indicated it is important for the club for me to be here”.

Such is his love for his dogs, Sanchez even mentioned Atom and Humber during his first ever interview as a United player.

“I believe we lose a world class player and gain a world class player”, Wenger said in his Tuesday press conference.

Record goalscorer and two-time Premier League victor Henry did work at Arsenal as an under-18 coach, before quitting to focus on his pundit work for SkySports at the request of Arsene Wenger, who felt both roles were incompatible.

“Overall it’s better to buy a player who is 23 or 24, but we didn’t spend any money here, and we got a quality player”.

Meanwhile, Chelsea manager Antonio Conte was preparing his side for another major fixture against Arsenal, the club that denied the Premier League champions the domestic double last season after beating them in the FA Cup final.

The Armenia global spent just 18 months at Old Trafford and while he played an important role in the club’s Europa League success in addition to winning the Carabao Cup, he failed to match the exploits that made him one of the Bundesliga’s most creative talents prior to his move to Manchester.

Robin van Persie credits Arsene Wenger for his footballing success and hopes the French manager can survive the club’s now tumultuous period. He has a good team attitude as well and I am confident that it will work.

“He’s a very professional player who has been committed until the last minute”, Wenger said.

The centre-half is now contracted to Well until 2020 and the club revealed the news via Twitter in spectacular style as they borrowed a theme from Manchester United. I think he is very versatile and it should help us be efficient going forward.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Alexis Sanchez should not be considered a “mercenary” for opting to join Manchester United rather than renewing his contract at the Emirates Stadium.

Nevertheless, that will hardly pose a threat to the new arrival’s performances or form, nor will it change his new number in league fixtures.

“I only have warm memories. And of my Boxing Day scorpion kick and of hearing the song ‘Whoa Mkhitaryan.’ every time I stepped onto the pitch”.
