I don't remember this being linked, so I'll leave this here: http://www.manchestereveningnews.co...r-news/man-utd-arsenal-transfer-news-13338244
I believe at the post match interview, Jose was briefly asked about Sanchez and he replied "I don’t know the first thing about Sanchez."
Sounds like a non-starter, given that Jose has a trait of saying that he can't talk about players from other clubs when he's interested in that player.

I don't believe Mourinho wants Perisic ahead of Sanchez. It's like choosing between Bonucci and Smalling. Nobody believes if you say you want Smalling.
Agreed
I've tried being calm with you but all to no avail.
You are in the wrong. Own the problem or get reported.
Even your fellow Reds agree that you are out of order.

Sanchez doesn't want to go to United because of his own reasons and it makes sense to work with Pep again, with a better chance to win the league and be in CL. Then you'll have the counter-argument about the lower chances to play for Martial and Rashford, let alone Mkhitaryan or Mata. Jose cannot win in this transfer debate regardless of who comes.
To be perfectly honest, the goals from that set of players last season is one of the reasons we had a poor season. So one of them should be sacrificed for a goalscoring midfielder player IMO. I would go for Mata.
The issue is Peresic isn't going to add the goals we need. Sanchez would.
Jose can definitely win, but Peresic is a hard sell imo. Maybe it will make sense if our system is changed and Peresic ends up playing LWB or something, even then we still lack goals in the attack.
It he wants to win the champions league why on earth would he go to city they've no chance of winning it with UEFA and the media so against them.
PSG?
I agree 100% with you that I'd swap Sanchez for Mata. Done. Perisic would supply the service, but Sanchez has obviously shown that he can score and assist at high success rates. The way Jose has his teams play, it's usually pretty optimal in Europe where it has to be more tactical and a bit slower/more controlled.
In the Premier League, United need the goals. Still not convinced the current squad has enough goals unless if all four of Lukaku, Rashford, Martial and Mkhitaryan score 10+ each. If Griezmann came this year, I would have felt a lot better. The finishing in the league last year was bad, including Zlatan.
This account is known to be quite reliable when it comes to PSG, i believe they were the first to say Dani Alves was PSG bound when everyone was saying it was all done and he was City bound.
[Information Paris U] Rapprochement between Paris and #Alexis. The Chilean is much more greedy with the #PSG because of the French tax system.
what up with the french tax? Is it a lot more than elsewhere?
I read somewhere that during questioning about Morata Jose answered about Sanchez without being prompted. Not sure what that would mean exactly.
I think it's 70% if you earn over €1m.
Edit. Scrap that the super tax doesn't exist anymore. The tax rates are basically the same as over here.
City already have he best said in the league. Signing Sanchez would make them heavy, heavy favourites.
Easily a top 3 player in the league.

Best celebration ever. Ran the length of the pitch.Still the best GIF of Arsenal fans ever. You get something new every time you watch it. It's how I like to imagine them over Sanchez.
Yeah I noticed that in that article. I didn't see the interview so the Sanchez quote seem so randomly brought up.

Brilliant! Just have a hard time imagining how Luis Figo is doing this at Nou Camp in front of 90 000 angry Catalans lol
Not many Chelsea fans would have had Willian ahead of Mata either, but Jose has a clear idea of the balance he wants from his team; Perisic is more of a winger, Sancheza wide forward, and I feel Jose wants an orthodox winger primarily.
Not that I'd rule out Sanchez; I think Arsenal would rather sell to United as well, as they have seemingly developed a mutual respect over the past few years based on past battles for supremacy, before Chelsea and City bought their way into the party.
5 years ago, City were heavily linked to an Arsenal forward approaching 30 who'd had a stellar season; United signed him and the rest is history.
Arsenal have wanted Smalling since 2010, and he's now apparently surplus to requirements; a part-ex could also sweeten the deal for them too.
Don't be a psycho, @Gentleman Jim made it very clear he was quoting your post, and adding in replies to it in bold. It's a common way to reply on here, he wasn't trying to suggest you were saying the bits in bold.
There is no Woodward equivalent at Arsenal.
Dick Law is the one who handles the negotiations but he he doesnt make any decision without Wenger approval.
Really schocked that even after Wenger waved away talk of Director of Football with a bad joke about traffic cops that anyone can question where the power at Arsenal lies.
@Powderfinger is spot on about how Arsenal is run.
No. Guardiola is correctly called a revolutionary for the tactical and philosophical changes he forced on the game. That's all there is to it.
It's not the style itself, it's the little tweaks he put on it. It's the ball-playing CB and goalkeeper, the full pitch pressing, the use of the false 9, the extreme ball possession as a defense strategy, the phases of build-up from the back, etc. None of those things by itself is particularly new, nor did he come up with many of those things, but he was the first to put all of it together and reach a level of domination at the highest level in the sport which forced everyone else to adapt or die. Football simply was different before 2009. Just as it was different before Sacchi, just as it was different before Michels, etc...
All the Pep revolutionary tactical genius has only worked perfectly with one club hasn't it. He was nothing special at Bayern as he couldn't achieve what Heynckes did after spending a bucketload, the whole ball playing keeper thing was hilarious to watch last season. Let's see how he does without a team full of La Masia's best products of a generation
Wait, seriously? Yeah, I have the maturity of an average 14 year old but that is hilarious.
Again, meaningless to the point. Revolutionary means he changed the game, not that he's some kind of supergenius manager. He changed the game, because everyone else adapted to him
This is a pipe dream boys, Arsenal really dont want to sell to City but they definitely dont want to sell to us. Also the player wants to play for Pep otherwise he would've been in Bayern by now imo. PSG could tempt him away but we stand no chance and its pointless to even try.
He will stay at Arsenal whether he signs a new deal or not. Wenger is on a tightrope with the fans and wont even entertain selling their best player. Be very shocked if they sold him to City/Chelsea.
Best celebration ever. Ran the length of the pitch.
It was outstanding, the knee slide amidst a sea of hotdogs raining down, also was that Micky Flanagan clambering in the crowd?
To be fair, I think Wenger/Arsenal board have shown of the years, they aren't going to wilt to their fans. However, if Sanchez is leaving, it will be asap. What is the point of getting all the cash for him and not having the time to spend it.
Personally, I think he's off and Lemar is his replacement. The question is, where is he off to?!
If he is available it begs the question as to why we arent at the front of the queue. You have to be flexible to new developments in the transfer market yet we've spent all summer trying to get perisic in. Seems that we are looking at a 3-5-2 and so perhaps jose doesnt see Sanchez as a LWB, which I guess makes sense.
There could be a number of reasons, which we just aren't privy to. He may not like Jose? He may not like United? He may just want to play with Pep? He's getting paid more by City?
Basically, we just don't know why he may not come to us? Heck, he may still come to us.
Sanchez is the type of player that you can build a system around. And it's not like playing a 433 or 4231 is some sort of alien concept Jose or United have never played.
Anyway, I'm not convinced after a single pre-season game against an MLS reserve team that we're changing to a 352 full time. We'll use it in spots, just like last season.
We should be all over getting Sanchez, and maybe we are. Money talks, like I said previously, lodge an £80m bid and Arsenal board won't care what Wegner has to say about it. And Sanchez would be worth every penny.
It's my first time. I get one free right?
PSG in for him are they? Suspect he ends up there then. Theyll throw money at him
Would be good for us tbh
