Gary Neville: Why Man City can’t let Alexis Sanchez join Man United

Alexis Sanchez’s Arsenal exit

Sunday’s defeat at Bournemouth signalled the point of no return for Alexis Sanchez and Arsenal.

Arsene Wenger left the Chilean out of his side in a 2-1 defeat at the Vitality Stadium.

The Gunners boss has finally admitted that the South American is leaving the Emirates Stadium.

Indeed, Wenger confirmed that Sanchez’s future will be finalised imminently.

Man United vs Man City

Yet, on Monday morning, it’s still unclear where Alexis is going.

Sanchez seems certain to move to Manchester. But will he sign for City or United?

Until the weekend, Man City had appeared to be in pole position for the Arsenal star.

But, amid talk of rising transfer fees, huge 10 million pound payments to agents, and a boost in Gabriel Jesus’s injury timetable, City seem to have distanced themselves from Arsenal’s best player.

At the same time rumours have got incredibly loud that Man United are set to swoop in.

Gary Neville on Alexis Sanchez to Man City

On Monday morning, Gary Neville has taken to social media to voice his opinions on where Alexis Sanchez is going.

Neville picked up on an update from Guillem Balague in which the Sky Sports pundit claimed Man United are favourites to get the deal done.

For Neville, he fully expects Man City to come back in for the South American. He said:

We both know City will up their offer to him of more (money)… Business wise it doesn’t make sense to let Alexis go to United.
