Manchester United Reportedly Keen to Beat City in Alexis Sanchez Transfer Chase

Manchester United are reportedly ready to compete with local rivals Manchester City for the signing of Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez.

According to Neil Custis of The Sun, the Red Devils want to capitalise on Sanchez's contract situation, with his current deal set to expire at the end of the Premier League season.

It's suggested in the report that Sanchez would be able to command a signing on fee of £25 million if he left Arsenal and became a free agent. City were ready to pay around £60 million for the Chile international in the previous window.
