Manchester United fans aren't confident of landing Alexis Sanchez this month.

Reports emerged on Thursday that United had made a move for the Chilean, who is out of contract this summer.

Manchester City lead the chase for Sanchez but United are ready to throw Henrikh Mkhitaryan in as a sweetener.

Sanchez was on the bench against Chelsea on Wednesday night but Arsene Wenger hopes he will stay.

"I want him to stay longer," said Wenger.

"I have no problem if he signs with us now or in June."

Nevertheless, some United fans are under no illusion about where Sanchez will end up this month, reports the Manchester Evening News.
