As Manchester United contemplate life after Cristiano Ronaldo, setanta.com can reveal that the Old Trafford club have held talks with the Chile international Alexis Sanchez.
The agent of the Udinese forward claimed that the player’s representatives have held talks with United as well as a number of other English teams regarding a proposed transfer to The Premier League.
Last summer United registered a formal interest in the 20-year-old, who had just spent a year on loan at River Plate, only for Udinese to rebuff The Red Devils.
An eye-catching season in Serie A during which Sanchez made 32 first-team appearances for Udinese was proof of their prudence.
With United now eyeing a replacement for the Real Madrid bound Ronaldo, Nino Maravilla, or Wonder Kid, could complete a transfer that has been a year in the making.
Sanchez’s agent Fernando Felicevich told setanta.com: “My partner is currently in England working on the transfer of Alexis.
“Yes, we have spoken to Manchester United, but not just to United. We have also held talks with other English teams.
“We are trying to do the transfer this summer.”
