Ole Gunnar Solskjaer issues update on Man Utd flop Alexis Sanchez's Inter Milan move
MANCHESTER UNITED may be preparing to finally offload £650,000-per-week flop Alexis Sanchez, but manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is refusing to get drawn into any speculation.
The attacker is the highest earner at the club by some way, but has failed to live up to the lofty wage packet.
Despite Sanchez reportedly being in Italy to finalise a loan deal, Solskjaer was refusing to give anything away after his side’s draw with Wolves on Monday.
Sanchez wasn’t involved in Monday night’s squad or the squad to face Chelsea last Sunday, but the manager insists he is still a Manchester United player.
“Let’s see what happens in the coming few weeks,” Solskjaer said.

“There are still a few weeks for international transfers to go through.
“At the moment, he’s our player.”
Inter have already had successful transfer negotiations with United this summer, having signed Romelu Lukaku from the Premier League side.
The Belgian forward cost the Italian club £65million, which could rise to £77m after add-ons.

Now, they could be set to take their second player from Old Trafford, with Sanchez set to join on a season-long loan.
At the end of the one-year deal, Antonio Conte’s side would have the option to make the deal permanent for £14m.
United will apparently pay £250,000-per-week of Sanchez’s wages while he is out on loan.
