<h2><span style="font-size:14px">Manchester United forward Alexis Sanchez has been handed a 16-month prison sentence in Spain but he will not serve any time in jail.</span></h2>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>Sanchez was accused of defrauding the treasury of &euro;1 million between 2012 and 2013, relating to income from his image rights, but he has reached an agreement which will see him pay the money he owes.</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>As a result he will not have to spend any time in prison, providing he does not commit any further offences in the next two years.</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>The 29-year-old, who gave evidence via a video link while he was at Arsenal, has two years to repay the money owed, plus interest.</div>
