Manchester United and Arsenal fans are divided over the news of Alexis Sanchez's potential departure from Old Trafford. The Chilean striker has been linked with a one-year loan move to Inter Milan, which could mark the end of his stay at Manchester United.

Sanchez joined Manchester United in January 2018 in a swap deal with Henrikh Mkhitaryan, but has struggled to replicate his impressive form under Arsene Wenger at Arsenal. Despite scoring 24 goals in 38 matches under Wenger, Sanchez has managed only three goals in 32 league appearances for Manchester United.

Manchester United fans have been vocal about their disappointment with Sanchez's performance, with some labeling him the club's worst signing ever. However, others have expressed concerns that his departure could leave the team short-staffed, particularly with Romelu Lukaku out and Anthony Martial injured.

Meanwhile, Arsenal fans have been more sympathetic towards Sanchez, praising his past performances for the club. The loan deal between Manchester United and Inter Milan is reportedly close to being finalized, with the two clubs having discussed the possibility for several weeks.
