Manchester United head coach Jose Mourinho has claimed the reason Alexis Sanchez chose to join Manchester United has nothing to do with money.
When asked why Sanchez chose United over City, Mourinho said: "I don't know. I know that if other clubs didn't get it it's not a problem of money for sure. You go and analyse the numbers and Manchester City, Chelsea, even Everton spend more money than us.
"You have to put things in perspective - how much would Alexis Sanchez cost in a normal transfer with three years left on his contract? Look to the numbers now and I would say roughly between £100-150m.Alexis could go everywhere, he had lots of choices, he decided to come here and you have to ask him why. Was expensive? Was cheap? Honestly I think it was fair. I think it's a very good deal for us."
