Graham Potter and Erik ten Hag are both said to be in the market for a new goalkeeper in the January transfer window, with Edouard Mendy, Kepa Arrizabalaga and David de Gea believed to respectively be surplus to requirements.
Sanchez, who sees his deal at the Amex Stadium expire in 2025, has featured 14 times for the Seagulls in the Premier League this season, keeping four clean sheets. The Spain international's impressive displays have led Brighton to seventh in the table while also securing himself a place in Luis Enrique's squad for the World Cup.
According to the Mirror, Chelsea and United are monitoring Sanchez as both clubs looks to bolster their options between the sticks. Potter, who gave the shot-stopper his top-flight breakthrough at Brighton, is a big fan of the Spaniard.
