Alexis Sanchez transfer latest: Arsenal star flies to Manchester to complete United swap with Henrikh Mkhitaryan

Alexis Sanchez is in Manchester to complete his move to Manchester United from Arsenal, with the transfer set to be confirmed on Monday, with his medical taking place on Sunday.

The Chilean international posted a video on his Instagram account at a private airfield where he was getting a flight from London to the north-west to complete the transfer.

Similarly, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who is moving in the opposite direction as a part of the straight-swap deal, has been photographed in London and is currently understood to be undergoing his medical in north London.

Sanchez’s move is not expected to be officially announced until Monday, with the complications that have delayed the deal for nearly a week were down to the complications of the swap, as well as Mkhitaryan’s demands.
