Football rumours from the media: Alexis Sanchez linked with Man Utd exit

What the papers say

Alexis Sanchez could be ready to leave Manchester United less than a year after his headline-grabbing move from Premier League rivals Arsenal. The Daily Mail claims the Chile forward’s representatives have been looking for potential buyers for the 29-year-old. Sanchez has scored just four goals in 25 games for the Red Devils since his signing – and the paper claims manager Jose Mourinho is unhappy with the player’s performances.

Daniel Sturridge is ready to sign a new deal with Liverpool, according to the Sun. The 29-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at West Brom but since returning to Anfield the England striker has scored four goals for the Reds. And the paper claims he could now receive an extension to his contract, which runs out at the end of the campaign.

Arsenal hope to sign Liverpool left-back Alberto Moreno, writes the Mirror. The Spanish defender could leave Anfield on a free transfer at the end of the season and worked with Gunners boss Unai Emery at Sevilla.
