However, it seemed inevitable for the management. Since Alexis Sanchez had refused to renew his contract at Arsenal following continuous plight from the fans, (AFTV), and the team, the board decided to cash in on him to avoid loosing him on a free transfer.

The environment at Manchester United

According to the shared post, Alexis Sanchez slammed Manchester United saying “he wanted to leave the club after only one training session following his move from Arsenal in 2018.” The coach at the time at Manchester United was the 3 time premier league winning coach, Jose Mourinho. Is it the coach or the team that should be blamed?

Well, Alexis Sanchez moreover directed his blame also to media personalities and some of Manchester United former players, such as Gary Neville and Paul Scholes. It is worth noting that some of these former players in their football analysis have sparked a lot of controversies, for example in the Paul Pogba issue as well as before Lukaku’s move to Inter Milan. It’s agreeable that there is a lot of pressure surrounding a player playing for Manchester United, Lingard is a case scenario. Moreover, Fred at one point admitted the existence of this pressure . I suppose you old enough to remember Wayne Rooney’s punch throwing celebration while at Manchester. The pressure is there!

The conditions may not have been favorable for Alexis Sanchez under Mourinho, or it was a new normal, this is not well known to us. But it is certain his performance was affected there. Alexis Sanchez scored 5 goals in 45 matches for Manchester United,a poor performance with regards to his run at Arsenal. Poor performance can result in bitterness, also, poor environment can result to poor performance.

In this case, I suppose, both factors came into play leading to his “thank you message” to Manchester. Well, most people rate him highly, hope he rediscovers himself at Inter Milan. Looking forward to seen him create great football moments at Inter Milan.

Messi Leaving Barcelona, what it Means for the Football Star

by BENSON MAINA

Lionel Messi has hinted to his club Barcelona that he wants to leave. The star invoked a clause in his contract. This will allow the star to transfer to another team without any fee. Barcelona club is expected to argue his transfer news is not valid. In soccer history, Messi is the most outstanding player. Messi said that he wants to leave Barcelona immediately.

Over a week ago, Messi, who is 33 years of age, suffered a great humiliation when Barcelona was playing Bayern Munich in the champions’ league. The club descended into internal havoc. Quique Setien, the manager of Barcelona, told some of the senior players that their services were no longer needed in the team. Some of the players informed were Messi’s friend and neighbor Luis Suarez, Samuel Umtiti, Ivan Rakitic, and Arturo Vidal.

Coach of Barcelona, Ronald Koeman, spoke with Messi because he has sopped committing his future to Barcelona. Koeman had warned Messi that he wouldn’t receive any special treatment. This sounded like a threat to Messi, which instigated Argentine’s mind.

Messi had made up his decision regardless of the trigger through writing. After the transfer news came out, most of England’s clubs have approached the Argentine star to join the English premier league. Through burofax, a recognized communication channel, he and his representative informed Barcelona that he has the intention of cancelling his contract with the club.

His representative believes that he can make his decisions unilaterally. There is a clause in the contract that allows Messi to leave his club once announcing he intends to do so before the season ends. Barcelona is expected to contest his decision. The club is also expected to argue that the contract clause expired in June when the campaign between Europe and Spanish was scheduled to come to an end.
