Arsenal's head coach Arsene Wenger respects the long-time rival of the "Gunners" - Manchester United.

It is expected that in the near future the leader of Arsenal Alexis Sanchez will move to Manchester United. Sanchez was expected to leave for Man City, but MJ interrupted the offer of "citizens".

In the new club, his salary will be about 500 thousand pounds a week. True, almost half of it will go to taxes.

Wenger is confident that Manchester United have the right to offer such amounts to players.

"I do not want to touch the numbers, it's the problems of Manchester United. I respect MJ, because he himself earns money that pays players, "Wenger said..

"United is very well managed from a financial point of view. On the football field they are also good. So I do not have any problems with the money they pay ".

Wenger does not believe that Alexis chose Manchester United because of money and is quite satisfied with the Chilean attitude towards business.

"Players are real professionals. I'm pleased with Alexis's attitude to business. He trained with us yesterday and laid out to the full. Sanchez is 29 years old, the next contract is very important for him ".

Wenger understands that Manchester clubs have more financial power, but are not going to give up.

"Yes, financially, United and City are ahead of Arsenal. But this does not mean that we can not compete on the football field ".

Manchester City leads the Premier League with 62 points, Manchester United with 50 is second, and Arsenal is in 6th place, having an asset of 39 points.
