Alexis Sanchez announces shock split from long-term girlfriend with an emotional post

Alexis Sanchez has announced a shock split from long-term girlfriend Mayte Rodriguez. Sanchez presented the pictures of himself and the 29-year-old actress. He wrote on the post: "I wish you the best of the world it was beautiful to have met you and to share nice moments with you, but we decided that each one should follow their own path, to seek our dreams. "I do not usually do this but I ask respect from all those who speak without knowing to do harm because behind everything there is family and children... respect." Since joining Manchester United in January, the Chilean has struggled to replicate the form that made him one of the Premier League's top players.
