Lyon fullback Rafael da Silva has slammed Alexis Sanchez over his criticism of Manchester United.
On Thursday Sanchez posted a video on Instagram explaining what went wrong during his spell as a United player, drawing strong criticism from Rafael.
The Chilean joined the club from Arsenal in January 2018 in a deal which saw Henrikh Mkhitaryan move in the opposite direction, but Sanchez was only able to score five goals in 45 appearances before spending the 2019-20 season on loan at Inter Milan.
Responding to Sanchez’s comments, United title winner Rafael mocked his complaints.
He said on social media: “Maybe he saw a ghost and get scared that’s explain why he play so bad every time.”
Sanchez had previously stated: “The first training I had I realised many things. I came home and I told my representative: ‘Can’t the contract be terminated to return to Arsenal?’
“They start laughing and I told them that something did not sit right with me. It (the contract) had already been signed.”
