Alexis Sanchez's 'desperate attempt' to seal transfer away from Man Utd

Alexis Sanchez is ready to ready to return to pre-season early to secure a move away from Manchester United .

The Chilean has endured a nightmare spell at Old Trafford since arriving from Arsenal in January 2018.

Sanchez managed just one Premier League goal this term and barely featured under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the final months of the season.

United are willing to listen to offers for Sanchez, although they face a struggle in persuading a club to take on his staggering wages.

Inter Milan are believed to be weighing up a move for the Arsenal man, who is ready to quit United.

The Sun reports Sanchez has made his mind on his future and is eager to leave England this summer.

He has travelled to Chile to see family and friends but is ready to return to pre-season training early to prove his fitness.

United's players are already set to be in earlier than normal after a dismal end to the Premier League campaign, with Solskjaer expecting them back on July 2.

But it is claimed Sanchez could be back in late June to get fit to secure a move away.

United defenders Luke Shaw and Phil Jones are also tipped to head back to Carrington early off their own backs.

The Red Devils finished sixth last term and Solskjaer is eager to improve their fortunes and close the gap on the top four when the new campaign begins.

United are already stepping up their transfer plans with Swansea's Daniel James close to a move, although they could face frustration in their pursuit of Matthijs de Ligt.
