Former Arsenal hero Alexis Sanchez has revealed how he nearly moved to Manchester City before completing a move to United instead in January 2018.
Sanchez has established himself as one of the Premier League's best players during his time in north London, netting 80 goals and providing a further 45 assists in 166 appearances for the club. However, he was keen to move on and compete for the top honours, turning down a contract extension before nearly joining the Citizens in the summer of 2017.
Now, he has revealed that there was a proposed swap deal that would see a City player go to the Gunners but the deal eventually fell through. "I was about to go to City," the Chilean told La Tercera, via the Mirror.
