Manchester United have overtaken Manchester City in the race to sign Arsenal wantaway superstar Alexis Sanchez, according to the latest reports from Gianluca Di Marzio.

In his most recent tweet update, Di Marzio claims that United have all but agreed personal terms with Alexis Sanchez and all there is left is to agree on a suitable transfer fee with Arsenal. United are likely to offer Henrikh Mkhitaryan in exchange for Sanchez and are expected to offer in the region of £20-25million.

Manchester City’s reluctance to meet Sanchez’s wage demands has given United the window to negotiate a transfer which looks more and more likely to be heading in Jose Mourinho’s favour. The Special One is set to defeat Pep Guardiola on this occasion.
