Alexis Sanchez flies family to Paris on private jet for short holiday after scoring first Manchester United goal

Alexis Sanchez has jetted his family out to Paris to enjoy a well-earned holiday following his first Manchester United goal.

It has been a hectic few weeks for Sanchez after completing his switch from Arsenal to Old Trafford.

The Chilean superstar, who is earning around £400,000-a-week, scored his first United goal in the 2-0 win over Huddersfield at the weekend.

It was reward for Sanchez, who had been putting in extra graft on the training ground to get himself fighting fit for his new club.

But Sanchez will now enjoy a few days of recuperation alongside his loved ones.

The whole family took a private jet to the French capital on Monday and Sanchez shared the journey with his followers on Instagram.

He gave an insight into the life of a multi-million pound footballer, picturing his family members enjoying the luxury of a private flight across the Channel.

Upon arrival, the full contingent gathered in front of the Eiffel Tower for a family photo – which included two youngsters wearing Manchester United shirts.

Sanchez has received high praise from United legend Wayne Rooney following his move.

Speaking on Sky Sports Monday Night Football, he said: “For me Sanchez is the perfect player for United. He’s got aggression, passion, desire and you can see he’s a winner.

“That’s what they’ve lacked, players around Lukaku that are going to push Lukaku on and try and help him get a bit more freedom and score more goals.

“Sanchez will do that, they’re the players you want because they lift other players and give them an extra five per cent.”
