Arsenal stars want Alexis Sanchez to join Manchester United before they face Crystal Palace
Players in the Gunners dressing room feel Sanchez is having a negative effect on squad and want to see him leave ASAP
ARSENAL stars have reportedly made it clear they want Alexis Sanchez to leave for Manchester United before this weekend’s game with Crystal Palace.
The Standard claims Arsene Wenger’s men have not been impressed by the ongoing transfer saga.
The Gunners are without a win in five games in all competitions, and some in the dressing room feel Sanchez’s behaviour is causing deeper problems in the squad.
The Chilean was apparently dropped against Bournemouth due to “tensions within the camp”.
And team-mates now want to see Sanchez out the door by the time they host Crystal Palace at the Emirates on Saturday.
The 29-year-old is believed to have agreed personal terms with United, despite late interest from Chelsea.

However, Sanchez’s fate depends on Red Devils reject Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
United and Arsenal are ready to do business in a straight swap deal, but the Armenian is playing hardball as he weighs up his options.

The proposed deal is causing a bit of a domino effect across Europe, with Arsenal now looking to land Borussia Dortmund’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as a replacement on top of Mkhitaryan.
The Germans are now believed to be making a play for Chelsea’s Michy Batshuayi, with the Blues themselves looking at West Ham’s Andy Carroll.
