Alexis Sanchez hopes Henry takes over at Arsenal

24 gen 2018

New Manchester United signing Alexis Sanchez has reacted to a few reports of British media claiming that Arsenal legend Thierry Henry had told him to leave the Gunners to join the Red Devils: “I want to clarify that Henry never told me to leave the club, it was a personal decision ... he LOVES the club”, Sanchez said.

I want to clarify that Henry never told me to leave the club, it was a personal decision ... he LOVES the club and someday it would be nice to see him as the arsenal coach because he loves the club ...

The Chile striker’s tweet ends with this ‘second’ message: “Someday it would be nice to see him as the arsenal coach because he loves the club ...”

Sanchez’s tweet was published a few hours after Thierry Henry’s message to Arsenal fans shared on the same social media: “I know I don’t need to explain this to the majority of Arsenal fans but contrary to speculation at no time did I tell Alexis Sanchez to leave Arsenal. I had no idea he was going to sign for Man Utd until I saw it on the news like the rest of you”, the former France star said.
