Jose Mourinho has been asked to make a move for Arsenal star player Alexis Sanchez next year.
Sanchez is out of contract at Arsenal next summer and is unlikely to put pen on paper for a new deal to extend his stay at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal are expected to sell him in January instead of losing him for nothing at the end of this season.
The 29-year-old was close to joining Premier League rivals Manchester City during the past summer transfer window, but the gunners chose to keep him in London since they couldn’t find a replacement for him before the closure of the window.
Manchester City are understood to remain keen on signing him this January despite having superb attackers already at the Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola’s side are currently sitting on top of the premier league table, 15 points behind second-placed Manchester United.
And the red devils have been urged to enter the race for Alexis’ signature next year.
Former Republic of Ireland international Tony Cascarino, who believes Manchester City will win the premier league trophy this season, thinks Manchester United should launch a move to get Sanchez’s signature next year.
Tony, writing in a column for the Times, said since the red devils were able to persuade Arsenal to send Robin Van Persie over to Old Trafford few years ago, they may achieve success with Alexis’ signature too.
