Manchester United deposit £25m bid to sign Alexis Sanchez before Manchester City

Manchester United have submitted a £25 million bid to sign Alexis Sanchez, according to reports.

The Chile international is out of contract at the end of the season and will be able to leave Arsenal on a free transfer this summer.

Manchester City lead the race to sign the 29-year-old this month, and reports have claimed that the forward has already agreed terms with Pep Guardiola’s side.

But according to Sky Italia and The Guardian, United have made a last-ditch attempt to lure Sanchez to Old Trafford.

Along with a £25m bid to Arsenal, United have proposed a salary package to Sanchez which beats City’s current offer.
