Man United told to secure Alexis Sanchez transfer: Chelsea want the Arsenal star
MANCHESTER UNITED must consider signing Alexis Sanchez, says Stuart Pearce.
Wenger not worried Sanchez's contract hasn't been renewed
Arsenal froward Alexis Sanchez could be sold in the summer if he does not sign a new contract.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger insists he is calm about the situation - even though Chelsea are reportedly eyeing the Chile international.
He would look nice in a United shirt
But Pearce thinks Manchester United should also weigh up a move for Sanchez.
"They're going to have to do something in the transfer market this summer,” Pearce said on Sky Sports News HQ.
"I've heard there's an Arsenal forward who's available.
"He would look nice in a United shirt."
Manchester United reportedly want to sign Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez
Sanchez's contract at Arsenal expires in the summer of 2018
Arsenal star Sanchez is also wanted at Chelsea
United have struggled up front when star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been out of the team, while Wayne Rooney could be offloaded in the summer.
That would free up a space plus around £300,000-a-week’s worth of wages to spend on Sanchez.
However, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are also monitoring the 28-year-old’s contract situation at the Emirates.
