Man Utd Won’t Sign Sanchez Replacement — Solskjaer

By Daily Sports on August 24, 2019

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed Manchester United are not planning to replace Alexis Sanchez should the attacker depart the club before the end of the European transfer window.

Sanchez has been considered a disappointment for United since his arrival from Arsenal in January 2018 in a swap deal for Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

Despite wages which have him made him the club’s highest paid player, Sanchez has been relegated to a part-time role as injuries and ineffectiveness have limited his impact, scoring only three Premier League goals across 32 appearances.

Reports have suggested Sanchez could be on his way out before the European window closes on September 2, with Inter mooted as the likeliest destination.

He would be the second United player to exit for Inter this window after Romelu Lukaku headed to the Serie A side earlier this month.

While the Premier League transfer window has closed, United could dip into the market to find a replacement available on a free transfer if the club so chose.

But, despite two attacking player exits, Solskjaer says the club are not interested in any new acquisitions.

“We are not looking at any more signings,” Solskjaer told reporters Friday.
