Alexis Sanchez poised for Manchester United transfer as £30million Chilean is dropped from Arsenal squad against Bournemouth

The 29-year-old is now closing in on a stunning transfer to Manchester United after being dropped from Arsenal's squad

Alexis Sanchez has not travelled with the Arsenal squad for today’s trip to Bournemouth. 

That signals that Sanchez could be on the move imminently with Manchester United now red-hot favourites to sign the Arsenal forward.

It is understood that United are willing to pay Arsenal around £30m, give Sanchez a huge signing-on fee and a bigger contract - worth around £400,000-a-week - than Manchester City.

Sanchez’s representatives will also get a huge package with United pulling out all of the stops to beat City to his signature.
