Man Utd transfer plans being hampered because nobody wants to buy £505,000-a-week flop Alexis Sanchez

MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly struggling to find a buyer for Alexis Sanchez.
The claims the flop, 30, is currently derailing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s transfer plans as no clubs have come forward to sign him.
Sanchez, who earns a staggering £505,000-a-week, has endured a disastrous 18 months at Old Trafford, scoring just five goals in 45 matches.
And United are hoping to offload him to free up funds for new arrivals.
However, Sanchez’s form has been so poor – and his wages so high – that nobody appears to be interested in him.
And that means United may not be able to afford some of the players they have been targeting in the transfer window.
The Red Devils have already snapped up 21-year-old Welsh winger Daniel James from Swansea for £15million.
But they have had little success in their pursuit of £60m-rated Crystal Palace right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka, 21.

There has been no movement in their hunt for a new centre-back either, with Leicester’s Harry Maguire, 26, set to join rivals Manchester City instead.
Benfica’s Ruben Dias, 22, is open to joining – but he will cost a staggering £80m.
And sensational reports also claim United were snubbed by Mats Hummels, 30, before he quit Bayern Munich for a return to Borussia Dortmund.
