Manchester United are reportedly desperate for Inter to sign Alexis Sanchez outright so they can sign Erling Braut Haaland.
Inter only took Sanchez on a dry loan in August, and the forward is not expected back until January after suffering a tendon injury.
Nonetheless, The Athletic states his career at United is over and that the Red Devils “hope” the Nerazzurri end up negotiating a permanent transfer.

The website adds his void could be filled by Haaland, with manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer asking his ‘personal scout’ to track his fellow Norwegian at RB Salzburg games.
The 19-year-old is one of Europe’s most in-demand hitmen, with Italian sides Juventus and Napoli also on his trail.
Any move is likely not to take place until the summer, however, so for now Juventus outcast Mario Mandzukic remains the favourite to arrive at Old Trafford in January.
