Sanchez takes aim at his critics as he says his Arsenal goodbyes

The former Barcelona forward was spotted on the Old Trafford turf on Sunday night and all signs point to that deal being announced sometime on Monday.

Sanchez was left out of Arsenal’s squad for Saturday’s 4-1 win over Crystal Palace, and Wenger said after the match he expects the deal to be completed in the next 48 hours.

Britain’s Mirror newspaper said Sanchez was due to arrive in Manchester with agent Fernando Felicevich, with a medical scheduled for Sunday afternoon, while Sky reported that Mkhitaryan would have a medical in London.

“A club that is not content with a top-four spot and Champions League football but one who is after City and will not give up until they are back challenging for the top spot”. So close, so close, so close, if it doesn’t happen it is not going to happen.

It’s never an easy task wearing the boots of Alexis Sanchez, but with Arsenal’s new head of recruitment Sven Mislintat showing a lot of faith in him, he won’t want to disappoint.

Heading into the January transfer window, Manchester City were thought to be favorites to sign Sanchez, whose contract with Arsenal is set to expire in the summer, but United turned the Chilean’s head with the size of their contract offer.

United can also take up a further 12-month option, but they are aware of the need to secure Pogba’s future throughout the peak years of his career.

There were reports in December that a group of Arsenal players had grown increasingly frustrated by Sanchez’s attitude.

Mourinho watched Anthony Martial score the only goal of the game against Burnley to hand United their fourth consecutive win.

“It is vital as well to have players who have experience, because we have a very good bunch of young players but we know that it’s not sufficient in the Premier League today to put them all in together”.

“Wage parity is very important to players”.

The Gunners are also close to completing a deal for Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and have made a second bid for the striker to get the deal over the line.
