Alexis Sanchez will wear the No.7 at Manchester United after a leaked image showed the Chilean donning the famous number.

The 29-year-old will follow in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo, George Best and David Beckham to pull on the sacred number at Old Trafford.

The Arsenal superstar is on the brink of completing a blockbuster swap move with the Gunners receiving Henrikh Mkhitaryan as part of the deal.

An image of Sanchez was leaked on Sunday evening of the player taking a selfie whilst wearing this season's home shirt.

Mirror Football has had the leaked image verified with Sanchez sporting his new club's jersey in front of a club photographer ahead of an official unveiling.

Sanchez will bank a huge pay rise with wages of at least £400,000 per week, with United beating out competition from rivals Manchester City.

Jose Mourinho will hope the signing is decisive, if not in the Premier League title race, then the Champions League.

As Sanchez, due to Arsenal only playing in the Europa League, is eligible to play in the last 16 tie with Sevilla next month.
