Alexis Sanchez salary proves a stumbling block for both clubs

Sanchez has two years left on his current deal, which sees him earn as much as £560,000 a week including £300,000 in basic salary and image rights of £100,000. However, his salary is currently paid by both Man United and Inter Milan, with a split of around £150,000 a week of Sanchez's wages according to Daily Mail. A transfer looks to go through only if Sanchez decides to take a pay cut, and Manchester United lower their asking price of £18million.
