'The sooner they get rid of him the better': Manchester United legend Paul Scholes happy to see the back of Alexis Sanchez as he gets ready to make Inter Milan move permanent

Paul Scholes has admitted he is looking forward to seeing the back of Alexis Sanchez when he departs Manchester United for Inter Milan on a permanent basis.

Serie A outfit Inter are set to unveil Sanchez on Thursday on a free transfer after initially joining on loan at the beginning of the season following a nightmare spell at Old Trafford.

Sanchez was handed the most lucrative contract in the Premier League worth up to £560,000-a-week including a basic wage of £300,000 and image rights of £100,000 - but he only managed to score five times and produce nine assists in 45 matches.
