Football Leaks revealed all there is to know about Alexis Sanchez’s Manchester United contract last year, from his £391,000-a-week salary to a £1.1million annual signing-on fee.

Not to mention any additional appearances fees which will come his way following an 83rd-minute introduction against Manchester City, despite him going on to touch the ball once.

Still, the silver lining for United amid these astronomical numbers is that the £2m bonus they promised him for 40 goals or assists in a season is going nowhere.

That is a box that has never looked like being ticked by a forward who has not featured for a full 90 minutes since August 10 – 258 days ago.

Against City on Wednesday, it was the same old story. Now, United head into what is a must-win game against Chelsea if they are to stay in the chase for the Champions League.

It is unlikely Sanchez will feature from the off. If he did, it would be his 31st start in a United shirt, and for the 31st time he would be handed a bonus of £75,000.

In all, with Football Leaks having lifted the curtain, crunching the numbers shows how Sanchez has been paid a total of £29.865m since joining in January 2018.

One more week will bring one more £391,000 wage slip, meaning he will break the £30m barrier.

It is safe to say United have had no bang for their buck.

In 2018-19, Sanchez has scored one goal in the Premier League – the winner against Newcastle in October. He has three assists, with his last also against Newcastle in January.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has failed to get the best out of the Chilean since he took over at the club

HOW MUCH HE HAS BEEN PAID 65 weeks = £25.415m 30 starts = £2.25m Two instalments of £1.1m annual signing-on fee = £2.2m TOTAL: £29,865,000 Advertisement

He has appeared for 798 minutes in the top flight, managing 17 shots and scoring 5.9 per cent of them (a career worst ratio). Opta report he has created just 20 chances in total, too.

This is perhaps something Arsene Wenger anticipated. Sanctioning that sale a year-and-a-half ago now seems like something of a goodbye gift to Arsenal from the Frenchman.

Sanchez’s statistics for Arsenal in 2016-17 and 2017-18 show sharp declines. Namely, he went from averaging a goal involvement per 95 minutes to 151.

One argument is he was distracted by talk of a big move to Manchester, so he did what players tend to do and struggled to perform.

Yet Wenger’s decision to let him leave in a swap for Henrikh Mkhitaryan now seems a shrewd one.

There is no doubting there is a talented player inside of Sanchez. Pep Guardiola wanted him and was locked in a battle with Jose Mourinho to get the Chilean’s signature for a reason.

In hindsight, however, Guardiola may consider it a bullet dodged.
