Manchester United forward Alexis Sanchez is reportedly eager to leave the club, with Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain his preferred destination.

Sanchez joined United on a free transfer from Arsenal less than a year ago, but he has struggled to make an impact at Old Trafford since his January arrival.

The Chilean has scored just four goals in 28 appearances for the club across all competitions and was dropped by manager Jose Mourinho last month following a poor start to the season.

The Times reports that Sanchez has found it difficult to settle into life both at the club and in the North-West and wants to join French champions PSG.

The 29-year-old's agent Fernando Felicevich is understood to have begun looking for potential suitors for his client, with PSG among the interested parties.

The Ligue 1 outfit were linked with a move for Sanchez in the summer of 2017, but instead signed Kylian Mbappe having already broken the world record fee to bring in Neymar from Barcelona that year.

However, United may be reluctant to sell Sanchez so soon after signing him to a lucrative contract, despite Mourinho's unhappiness with the player's dip in form since joining the club.
