Alexis Sanchez wants Manchester United move because of two Pep Guardiola concerns
ALEXIS SANCHEZ looks set to join Manchester United because the Arsenal star is reportedly concerned about playing under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.
It is said the Spaniard criticised Sanchez for his directness while at Barcelona.
The duo worked together in Catalona but Guardiola would reportedly regularly blast the player for taking the game to opponents, rather than playing for the team.
The Independent say it is that style of management which has forced Sanchez to reconsider and ultimately set his sights on United instead.
And he is also said to fear for game time at City.

Danny Murphy predicts Sanchez and Ozil to leave Arsenal
Despite losing 4-3 to Liverpool last night, Guardiola has assembled one of the best attacking teams in Premier League history.
And that means Sanchez would face a fight to make the starting XI every week.
On the wings, City have the likes of Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane to call upon, with the likes of Bernardo and David Silva also capable of playing there if needed.
And up top, Guardiola is well-stocked with Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus in his ranks.
