Sanchez Ready to Leave Man Utd in January

Alexis Sanchez is prepared to be a loner at Manchester United – but will seek a move as early as January if he continues to be exiled by Jose Mourinho.

The Chilean’s omission from Sunday’s starting line-up against Manchester City has pushed him closer to the Old Trafford exit.

The 29-year-old is frustrated by his lack of playing time this season and is prepared to walk away if he continues to be overlooked by Mourinho.

But suggestions a lack of close friends in the dressing room could also drive him out have been dismissed.

Sanchez is said to be happy to cut a lone figure, with on-field success his primary motivation

A summer move remains the likelier option, but Sanchez would also be willing to explore the opportunity of a January deal, due to his frustration.

The problem for him and United remains the size of his salary, which is believed to be worth up to £400,000-a-week. Very few clubs in world football could afford to offer him the same deal, as well as a transfer fee on top.

Even Manchester City had to drop their pursuit of the forward in January after learning of the size of the offer being put on the table by United.

Qatar-backed Paris Saint-Germain would be the standout option in Europe – but the French giants are likely to prefer a summer move when they might be looking to replace Neymar, who continues to be linked with Real Madrid.

The question is whether Sanchez’ frustrations boil over to the point that he demands a move when the transfer window reopens in the New Year.
