Alexis Sanchez
The Chilean forward is nearly certain to leave Arsenal either in this window or on a free transfer in the summer, and while Manchester City were overwhelming favourites to sign him all along, a row over finances might just have opened the door for Manchester United.
City had been close to securing the Chile forward in August after agreeing to a £60m deal with Arsenal on the final day of the summer transfer window.
The Premier League leaders, Manchester City have rejected the price tag placed on, Alexis Sanchez, according to reports Sky Sports News.
Sanchez looks nearly certain to join City, but there's no doubt that it's worth bidding for him from United's perspective, as a player of his quality is hard to find in the January window.
Mourinho tried to tread a diplomatic path around the subject of Sanchez, but said there are "some players in the football word" you have to try to sign if clubs have the chance.
"I understand that the other teams try to kill the other teams and to anticipate the situation, and this is the real transfer market - not to wait until the last moment to buy the players. So he wants to fight as well for the Premier League, that's normal when you are at that level".
It's been extremely well documented that Arsenal have a trio of players who are out contract at the end of the season- Alexis Sanchez, Mesut Ozil and Jack Wilshere.

Trump then reportedly said the USA should bring in more immigrants from countries like Norway. The African Union pointed out many Africans arrived in the U.S.as slaves.
Mourinho will also pay Arsenal £30m and Sanchez's agent £5m - fees Guardiola refuses to cough up. We don't believe in signing a player just to do something.
City have been tracking Sanchez for 18-months, and he has made it clear he wants to link up with Pep Guardiola at The Etihad.
"It looks like Sanchez will not extend his contract", the Frenchman told reporters when offering his latest update in a long-running saga. "I am focused on Liverpool". "I've never questioned his commitment or attitude".
But it was revealed on Thursday that Man United had swooped in with a bigger offer for the Chilean, tabling a bid around £25 and offering Sanchez £250,000 a week.
"I think when a person insults another, you can expect a response", said Mourinho.
How many times Sanchez will have the opportunity to show that commitment to Arsenal is unknown. "But there's always a way to find a different balance".
