Alexis Sanchez is phenomenal – Mourinho refuses to rule out bid for Arsenal forward

Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, has given the clearest indication he could be after Arsenal forward, Alexis Sanchez.

Sanchez has been linked with both United and Manchester City, as he seeks to leave the Emirates this year.

Mourinho is ready to beat rival Pep Guardiola to the 29-year-old, after entering the bidding war this week.

“I don’t know ethical or correct, the word we can find to be speaking about players of other clubs, if somebody speaks of one of my players to say we are interested, I wouldn’t be very very happy.

“Sanchez is an Arsenal player, I don’t know but probably this weekend he is going to defend Arsenal colours so I don’t think it’s correct to say things about Alexis Sanchez.

“At the general level what I can say is myself and Manchester United board, owners, we don’t believe a lot in the January market we don’t believe in sign a player just to sign a player, just to do something we don’t believe in that, what we believe really is there are some players in 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 he is a phenomenal player, apart from that Arsenal player and I feel I shouldn’t say much more than this,” Mourinho told a news conference on Friday.
