Mourinho is setting himself up for embarrassment with Alexis Sanchez 'gamble' - Merson

Alexis Sanchez

Manchester United are firmly in the running to sign Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal, with Jose Mourinho believing the club can not afford to miss out on "phenomenal" players like the Chile global.

Sanchez was believed to be on his way to Manchester City either in the winter or the summer transfer window, with the club agreeing terms on a contract with the player's representatives.

Averaging 2.80 completed take-ons per 90 minutes, Sane has more success beating players than Sanchez - who averages 2.40 at Arsenal this season. Guardiola wants to make sure he has enough players to be able to adequately rotate his squad, which would increase his chances of winning multiple competitions this season.

"He's won trophies with us". But we want to keep Jack, and we have an opportunity maybe to keep Ozil.

The Gunners have seen speculation surrounding two key figures cast an unwelcome shadow over their efforts in 2017-18.

"In the big clubs you have a choice: you reduce the number of players and you increase the wages, trying to fight with the massive clubs", Wenger said.

I don't want to give you wrong information.

"I think it's a good investment because we are talking about a top player and I'm hearing that the amount is around £20m".

"If I was a player, I would play for the club I am at with 100 percent commitment", Wenger said.

As the sharpshooter has not signed a new Arsenal contract, the Gunners now face losing Sanchez for below his market value midseason or for nothing at the end of the campaign.

They are also willing to throw in Henrikh Mkhitaryan as part of the deal, which could tempt Arsenal, as they want a replacement before they allow Alexis to leave. They are in the Champions League, they look like they will be in the final of the League Cup and the FA Cup as well potentially.

But the Frenchman was adamant that he's committed to seeing out his contract.

But Wenger played down talk of a move saying: "He is a good player but nothing is happening". I am fully committed in this and I am happy in what I am doing now and what I did in the past. I understand the question, you do your job, you know my answer. Do I stay for one year or 10 years, it's exactly the same. You have to try and that's it.
