Alexis Sanchez to Manchester United a ‘done deal’ according to Spanish reports
It has been claimed that Jose Mourinho has beaten Pep Guardiola in the race to sign Arsenal's contract rebel but unconfirmed reports suggest he is on his way
MANCHESTER UNITED have reportedly won the race to sign Arsenal ace Alexis Sanchez - according to unconfirmed reports.
Spanish football journalist Diego Martinez claims it's a "done deal" after an agreement was struck on Saturday.
He claims Manchester City have missed out on their top target after United found common ground with Sanchez's agent Fernando Felicevich.
The Chilean was believed to favour a move to the Etihad, which would have seen him reunited with former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola.
But it now appears that United have hijacked the deal, with Martinez adding that the move will soon be confirmed by all parties.
Sanchez's family have arrived in London as talks of an Arsenal exit grows.

“What we believe really is there are some players in the football world if you have the chance to sign them in January, March or July, you have to try and that's it.
“But in relation to Alexis Sanchez I don't say a word, the only word I can say is that he is a phenomenal player, apart from that he is an Arsenal player and I feel I shouldn't say much more than this.”
