Alexis Sanchez 'plotting Manchester United exit'

By Darren Plant, Senior Reporter | 19 October 2018

Forward Alexis Sanchez is reportedly considering an exit from Manchester United, less than a year after moving to Old Trafford from Arsenal.

Alexis Sanchez has reportedly started to give consideration to leaving Manchester United.

The North-West giants signed Sanchez from Arsenal at the start of 2018 with the forward having less than a year remaining on his contract, but the move has not worked out with just four goals being scored from 23 starts and two substitute outings in all competitions.

Sanchez netted the winner as United defeated Newcastle United before the international break, but according to the Daily Mail, the Chilean is open to an exit from Old Trafford.

The report claims that his agent has already began to investigate whether there would be any interested suitors, something which may prove to be difficult due to Sanchez's current wages at United.

The 29-year-old still has just under four years remaining on his contract, but United could potentially consider a sale with any fee recouped representing a profit made on the swap deal which involved Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
