Alexis Sanchez had stated in no unclear terms that he wanted to move last summer

PSG set to rival Manchester City for Alexis Sanchez

According to El Mercurio, the big-spending French giants are ready to pull off yet another stunning move next summer by signing the Chilean international.

Alexis Sanchez will be out of contract at Arsenal next summer and is widely tipped to move out of the Emirates. Manchester City have been touted to be favourites to sign Alexis Sanchez on a free next summer.

But with PSG entering the picture, Manchester City will feel the need to proffer a lucrative deal for Sanchez as the Ligue 1 outfit will be unrelenting in their pursuit as they have proved to be in the past.

Diatta says signing for Manchester United will be a dream move

Sarpsborg midfielder Krepin Diatta, who has been scouted by Mourinho's men recently, has revealed that it would be a dream move to join Manchester United.

Diatta's agent Youssoupha Fall has also confirmed links with Man United and thinks a move is likely to materialize.

In the words of Fall: “I’ve spoken to Manchester United’s scouts twice. First under the U20 World Cup, and again after the (league) game against Brann."

United scouts were watching Sarpsborg’s meeting with Odd at the weekend. After this match, Diatta confirmed his interest in a move to Old Trafford, insisting he thinks he is good enough to make the switch.

He said: “I didn’t know they scouted me today, but to join them would be a dream come true. I think I’m good enough, but I play for Sarpsborg and love this club. We’ll see what happens in the future.”
