Alexis Sanchez Denies Betting On Mourinho Sack Letter
Alexis Denies Claim He Won £20k Bet with Rojo Over Mourinho Sacking
Manchester United star player Alexis Sanchez has issued a denial over a story that claimed he won a £20,000 bet from his team-mate Marcos Rojo over Jose Mourinho losing his job on Tuesday.
The Portuguese coach was sacked by the club on Tuesday, with new club manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer been brought in on a temporary basis until the end of the 2018-19 season.
The club said that they have been inspecting coaches as they seek the service of a club manager.
And in a report published by the Sun, the news media house claims were made that the former Arsenal winger boasted about Mourinho's sacking in a WhatsApp message to his team-mates.
The newspaper claimed he stated:
‘I told you so!! Patience is all it takes.
Rojo you owe me £20k!'
Since the reports, Alexis has taken to social media to dismiss the story, however, insisting it is not true and that he respects Mourinho for bringing him to Old Trafford.
He wrote on Twitter:
This is FALSE!!!. Jose gave me the chance to play for the best team in the world and I only have gratitude for him.
"We are a truly United team.
We are MANCHESTER UNITED.
Respect. I can't wait to help the team! Good luck tomorrow family!"
