That’s the opinion of BetStars who make the Red Devils second most likely to bring in the Chile international at odds of 7/1.

City are the overwhelming favourites though with punters getting 4/6 on the Arsenal man leaving for the Etihad.

BetStars Director of Trading Ian Marmion explained: “Alexis Sanchez’s summer transfer saga looks set to reach its conclusion this week, with the wantaway Chilean odds on at 4/6 to make Manchester City his next club.

However, Manchester United are poised to move for Alexis Sanchez if rivals City fail to sign him, with the Red Devils 7/1 in the betting ranks, some way ahead of PSG at 10/1.

“Talk of Raheem Sterling joining Arsenal in part-exchange has some grounding, with the England international now priced at 2/1 to sign for the Gunners.

“City’s willingness to allow Raheem Sterling to leave the club in such a deal has also alerted Chelsea to his availability.

“With the Blues desperate to get bodies in before the transfer window slams shut, Chelsea are rated at 8/1 to secure the winger’s signature.”
