Manchester United have reportedly seen their path to signing Juventus left-back Alex Sandro opened up after news that Chelsea will not compete for the player's signature.
Italian website Calciomercato.com reported Chelsea are not interested in making a move for the Brazil international during the winter transfer window, freeing United of some competition they might have faced (h/t Charlotte Duncker of the Manchester Evening News).
According to Duncker's report, Sandro considers the Premier League a preferred destination if he is to leave Turin at the end of this season, and the Bianconeri would be willing to settle for a fee of £53 million.
