Alexis Sanchez joined Inter Milan on a season-long loan from Manchester United, the Premier League club has confirmed.

An Inter statement said: "Alexis Sanchez is officially an Inter player. The Chilean has joined the Nerazzurri from Manchester United on a loan deal that will last until 30 June 2020."

The Chilean striker brings to an end a disappointing spell at United having scored just five goals in 45 appearances since his switch from Arsenal last January.

The 30-year-old will now link up with former United striker Romelu Lukaku who left the club in a £73 million deal this summer.
