A lot of Football talk around the world at the moment is all about transfers, and the biggest of those is the Alexis Sanchez Manchester United Transfer.
With a deal that would be the envy of many an EPL club, the Alexis Sanchez Manchester United Transfer shows a little of what’s wrong with modern day football.
The soon to be former Arsenal player is reported to earn as much as 490K a week. Which quite frankly is an insane amount of money for any sports star, let alone someone who has been as poor as Sanchez has been in his sulk of the 2017/18 season so far.
But whether he deserves it or not, it is a lot of money, and he will need help on how to spend it.
So as a community service we offer some advice on how to spend the weekly wage from the Alexis Sanchez Manchester United Transfer.
…and we realise that 490K will be taxed, but don’t let facts and figures and reality distract from the fun below.
ALEXIS SANCHEZ MANCHESTER UNITED WEEKLY WAGE COULD……
…have use of a helicopter every day to training and more.
According to the Heliair Website for Manchester Flights 49 Pounds will get you in the air for 5 minutes, so that works out around 600 an hour.
So for the Alexis Sanchez Manchester United Weekly wage of 490,000, he could get 816 hour long flights a year from just one week’s wage. That would cover two trips a day for the whole year, plus another 86 to use to do the weekly shopping, go to the local pub’s 80’s trivia night, and the occasional Macca’s run.

…Fly 490 of is closest family and friends to Manchester to watch a game at Old Trafford from Santiago.
According to a travel website, 1000 GBP will get you from the capital of Chile to Manchester via a few stops.
So if Alexis Sanchez makes the move to the Red Devils, what better way to celebrate than to invite 490 of his closest friends and family to the game from Chile. I’m sure he could get a few free tickets for getting into the actual game.
ALEXIS SANCHEZ MANCHESTER UNITED WEEKLY WAGE COULD……
…Supply 515 of his closest family and friends with a Manchester United Season Ticket…
Heading to the Manchester United website for Season Tickets, you will find that the most expensive offering is the one for 950GBP.
Having already flown 490 of his closest family and friends from Chile, why not let them stay and support you for the entire season.
ALEXIS SANCHEZ MANCHESTER UNITED WEEKLY WAGE COULD……
…Keep 7 of his closest friend or family staying at the 4 Start Hotel Football @ Old Trafford for a year…
If Alexis Sanchez can’t send everyone home, then his weekly wage could keep 7 of his best friends or family staying at the conveniently located Hotel Football at Old Trafford for an entire year.
An accommodation website has the going rate at around 180GBP a night, so over the course of 365 days he could get 7.45 people a room all year round. Perhaps being a new Red Devils player he could argue the case for a yearly rate and squeeze an eighth person in for a full orbit.
ALEXIS SANCHEZ MANCHESTER UNITED WEEKLY WAGE COULD……
…Give half of the people in his home town in Chile a Manchester United Home Shirt.
According to the Manchester United shop, a home shirt is currently on sale for around 35 GBP per Shirt. According to Wikipedia, Tocopilla – the home town of Alexis Sanchez in Chile has a population of 24,247.
This means it would cost around 850,000 to dress everyone in his place of birth. So his 490K per week will cover around half of his town Tocopilla in a brand new Man Utd shirt.
It would take just one more week of action for Manchester United, and then Alexis Sanchez can say he clothed and entire city in Chile with a new Manchester United shirt.
ALEXIS SANCHEZ MANCHESTER UNITED WEEKLY WAGE COULD……
…Buy a Luxury Car a Day for a Week and when done, leave it in the carpark, at home, or drive it off a cliff.
Football Players love a flashy car, and if you’re earning 490,000GBP a week you can afford to buy whatever and however many you want.
But what would be more fun, and more akin to the life of excess of a Football Player, than to buy a luxury car a day for a week.
Finding a local Manchester Car Dealer, a Range Rover goes for a little under 70,000GBP, so that equates to a car a day for a week.
Then once done, think of the most creative way to get rid of it. You could be charitable via your social media or a competition, but more fun would be putting the question to your many social media followers and letting them decide how to dispose of the car every day.
ALEXIS SANCHEZ MANCHESTER UNITED WEEKLY WAGE COULD……
…Cover the Annual Wage of 12 Fourth Division League Two Players.
Perhaps Alexis Sanchez could become a man at the head of a footballing dynasty.
Recent reports have a League Two Annual Salary around the 40K mark, so with the new Alexis Sanchez Weekly Wage of a reported 490K, he could pay for 12 players, and have a little change left over. All for a week’s work.
Or if you’re splurging on League Two players, why not spend a chunk of that on the transfer fee for Adebayo Akinfenwa aka The Beast and bring him into the EPL.
Imagine if that team the faced Manchester United in an FA Cup or League Cup tie.
ALEXIS SANCHEZ MANCHESTER UNITED WEEKLY WAGE COULD……
…Buy every child under 16 in Manchester a soft serve ice cream from McDonalds for six straight days.
Getting the kids onside is an important thing for a big time player arriving at a new club, and what better way to get your poster on the walls around Manchester than to splurge on ice cream for the children of Manchester.
The Manchester.gov.uk website shows that there were 114,075 children under 16 as of 2016, so allowing for a little growth, and the current price of a soft serve in the UK of 0.69, it works out that it is just over 6 ice creams a piece for the weekly wage of Alexis Sanchez at Manchester United.
Given the Red v Blue divide in the city, not all ice creams will be welcome, but when you’re earning 490,000 a week, who cares.
ALEXIS SANCHEZ MANCHESTER UNITED WEEKLY WAGE COULD……
…Buy 490,000 of the World’s Best Chilli Sauce – Encona.
Looking at the Tesco website, the best Chilli sauce in the UK if not the world from Encona is just 1 pound. That means Alexis Sanchez could buy 490,000 bottles of the stuff. It is good stuff but 490,000 may make it hard to sit down.
But since he is from Chile, we presume that he loves Chilli based food.
ALEXIS SANCHEZ MANCHESTER UNITED WEEKLY WAGE COULD……
…Buy Manchester United the missing ingredient for success, or an expensive troublemaker who has little or zero impact.
We say the former for a few months, and the latter thereafter. Then I guess it’s off to PSG for another Wheelbarrow O Cash.
