Sánchez & Mkhitaryan Swap Deal Impact on Both Teams
Every transfer window a lot of swap deal transfer rumors surface but very rarely they materialize. Because there are a lot of variables to look into in swap deals and thus it becomes very complicated to finalize. So, when the news of Sánchez & Mkhitaryan swap deal broke, it seemed too good to be true. Because it would be a swap of two elite players between two rivals. But because of willingness from both players the transfer was done without any hurdle and this became one of the biggest swap deal in the history of football.
Sánchez's departure from Arsenal was inevitable after his fallout with his teammates and fans. But no one ever thought that he would depart for the red half of Manchester as Manchester City was his most likely destination from last summer. The main reason for him to choose United over City apart from the money was the fact that City's interest died down as they didn't require any more attacking reinforcement in January. On the contrary, United needed a boost from a big name signing in the attack for both sporting and moral reasons. So, they offered Mkhitaryan to Arsenal and gave Sánchez a big deal to do the deal. Because of this deal, United now have another proven world class talent at their disposal. Unlike Mkhitaryan, Sánchez ensures a lot of goals, which will take pressure off from Lukaku and Pogba. So everyone will have the freedom to express themselves more. In addition to that, he is much more suited for the United starting eleven. As he will provide a much more defensive output which is essential for a José Mourinho team.
Mkhitaryan was back to his best at the start of this year's campaign. But soon after his performances dipped, and he was sent to rot in the bench & reserves. So, this deal meant a great escape for the Armenian. For Arsenal, this deal meant that they had the best possible solution to their bad situation. Because Sánchez was in his last six months of contract, but they were still able to get a good replacement for him. In addition to that, Mkhitaryan's free flowing playing style is similar to Arsenal's playing style. So, it was a great match for both parties.

Enjoy My friends!
I think we ended up with the better end of the deal. $anchez is world class, no denying that. But the dude plays for himself, and money. While Mkhi isn't a 1:1 swap by any means, by him joining the club he came with a bonus chip in the form of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. It was our best transfer window in a long while!
