Manchester United could reportedly hijack City’s move for Alexis Sanchez.

Manchester United are the latest club linked with Alexis and, according to the Sun, they could hijack City’s move for the Chilean.

On Tuesday, there was a rumour floating around that the Red Devils had enquired about the 28-year-old, so this could be where the report comes from.

The forward has under a year left on his current Arsenal deal and he seems pretty keen to leave.

City were firstly said to be willing to offer Raheem Sterling plus cash for Alexis, which has since been shot down, although there were also murmurings about Sergio Aguero. We should be so lucky.

Other reports insist that Arsenal will only consider selling for a sum in the region of £70m, although City have allegedly tested the waters with a £50m offer. The Gunners are unsurprisingly said to have rejected this.

While the Gunners denied that any formal approach had been made for the Chile international on Tuesday, the media expect this to change before the transfer window ends on Thursday night.

Alexis played his first game for Arsenal since the break on Sunday. The 28-year-old clearly wasn’t fit or happy during the 4-0 thrashing against Liverpool and was taken off after an hour.
