“Sanchez is an Arsenal player,”

“I don’t know but probably this weekend he is going to defend Arsenal colours, so I don’t think it’s correct to say things about Alexis Sanchez.”
[spacer height=”15px”]
“Myself and the Manchester United board and owners, we don’t believe a lot in the January market. We don’t believe in signing a player just to sign a player.”
[spacer height=”15px”]
“What we believe is there are some players in the football world, if you have the chance to sign them in January, March or July, you have to try. And that’s it.”

“Normally he would stay until the end of the season – but we’ll see. Nothing is really concrete at the moment and nothing is decided one way or another. Of course, I want a quick resolution.”

Moreover, Manchester United received a huge boost on Alexis Sanchez as Arsenal near Malcolm transfer.

Moreover to make things easier in facilitating a transfer, according to Manchester Evening News, Arsenal are close to completing the signing of Bordeaux winger Malcolm.

Malcolm’s arrival increases the likelihood of departure for Alexis Sanchez as the 29-year old is eager to secure a transfer before the closure of the January transfer window which Arsenal wont allow without bringing in a replacement first.

Manchester United are also being linked with Jamie Vardy and Javier Hernandez along with the usual names of Griezmann, as reported by M.E.N.
[spacer height=”30px”]
We have to wait for two more days before United clashes with Stoke City amid various transfer news and rumours.
[spacer height=”30px”]
As a Red Devil, Sanchez joining us would be a great boost for Mourinho and his men.
[spacer height=”30px”]
Infact to make things pleasant we even have pictures of Sanchez’s family arriving here in London in anticipation of his move to Manchester, Probably to help with the packing and morale support. Who cares as long its United he’s moving to he can bring his entire village out here for all we care.
