Alexis Sanchez was apparently greeted by Sir Alex Ferguson ahead of finally completing his transfer to Manchester United on Monday.

The Chilean completed his medical on Sunday following a dramatic late-night breakthrough in the transfer saga on Friday night, with Henrikh Mkhitaryan moving in the opposite direction.

Sanchez confirmed he was heading for Manchester as he uploaded a clip boarding a private jet on Sunday afternoon.

He arrived at the club's Carrington training ground a couple of hours later to undergo the medical and departed the same evening.

The deals may not be officially completed until Monday as both Sanchez and Mkhitaryan are non-EU players and must have their work permits ratified by their new clubs.

On Monday morning Sanchez was pictured leaving the Lowry hotel in Manchester, where the Red Devils players stay before games.

He was apparently greeted by Manchester United's legendary former boss Ferguson later in the day as he revisited the training ground and Old Trafford.

The images of Sanchez emerge after the Chilean was pictured wearing a Manchester United shirt for the first time on Sunday night.

Sanchez was seen taking a selfie with his new kit on as club photographers took pictures ahead of his official unveiling.
