Alexis Sanchez will bid farewell to Inter and return to Manchester United at the end of this season when his loan deal expires according to a report in today’s print edition of Tuttosport.

The Chilean national team attacker joined the Nerazzurri on a season long loan this past Summer but has far from performed to the expectations that people had for him.

The former Barcelona player sustained an ankle injury early on in the season that sidelined him for three months and upon his return to action he has not set the world alight with his performances.

The report goes on to state that even if Inter had wanted to keep a hold of him his massive annual salary of €12 million would have been a big stumbling block.

The 31-year-old has made 15 appearances across all competitions to date although he has not even been on the field for 600 minutes in total. He has scored one goal and provided three assists.
