Arsenal are ready to sell Alexis Sanchez to Manchester United this month, but they want Anthony Martial in exchange.

The Chilean attacker was left out of Arsenal’s team that faced Bournemouth at the weekend as Wenger confirmed his future would be sorted out in 48 hours.

PepGuardiola had thought Sanchez’s preference was to move to the Etihad, but the promise of £350,000 per week from Manchester United has made the Chilean to consider their offer.

Sanchez currently has under 6 months to run on his Gunners’ contract and the Londoners were thinking he would extend his deal with them.

However, he has decided that his future is outside of north London and Arsenal are ready to sell.

The Gunners could have made £60 million from his sale last summer as Manchester City were ready to offer that much on deadline day.

Arsene Wenger would prefer to deal with Manchester United as the Red Devils are willing offer more cash (£35 million) , and a player in exchange.

According to Sun Sport, the Red Devils are prepared to offer Henrikh Mkhitaryan, but Wenger wants Anthony Martial instead as the French man is a more suitable replacement.
