Interesting that they are thinking of adapting his position, if he is a success in that role then he'd become ideal for us.
Alexis Sanchez | Udinese: No Deal Yet

Surprised that no one has gone in for Alexis Sanchez. He had a great World Cup.
Depends on his contract with udinese, but yeah, we dont need him we've got nani and valencia and obertan
rate him though

Not saying we need him or should buy him, just surprised that no one has gone in for him.
Was outstanding for Chile in the World Cup...but didn't I read somewhere that he just signed a new contract at Udinese?
So far Hamsik, Gourcuff, Ozil, Sanchez, Forlan and Suarez are all still where they started the World Cup.
Very true SecondFig.
Maybe it just shows the lack of money about at the moment. Only a few teams can spend big money.

Or perhaps it shows that people have wised up and will not spend astronomical amounts based on the World Cup?
Lets build this thread up to Benzema/Ozil/Berba/Tevez proportions now. It's our only real glimmer of hope.
The Sneijder thread is dead and buried anyway.

Park, Obertan, Nani, Valencia, Giggs (who admittedly, might retire this or next season), Bebe and now we want another winger? The most baffling thing is, bebe, nani, valencia and obertan are all young... 5 young wingers (and park) to compete for two spots. Happy days.
If Ferguson truly is planning on buying him, which I doubt, but IF it happens in the short term, why couldn't he just have bought Sanchez instead of Bebe considering the wing options we already had/have?

Very unlike Fergie to go public on potential signings/interested players....doubt were that interested if hes making it such common knowledge.
great dribbler 
I'd imagine we are interested in wingers at this point and if he wants to play on the left, good stuff.
Bebe is a striker, Valencia is out for 6 months. Which leaves Nani on one wing and Giggs (won't play week in week out) and Park who puts a decent shift in and Obertan who is no where near ready yet. I wouldn't say no.
To have the option of Valencia, Nani and Sanchez would be a great prospect. With Giggs ageing and Park a completely different type of player, it would be good to have another out-and-out winger on the cards. His signing could halt the progress of the likes of Obertan and Bebe, but if this lad is really that good then it is surely an opportunity we can't afford to pass us by.
Interesting to see if this interest materialises.

Bebe is a winger.
feckin'ell... After 20+ pages of Bebe thread establishing he is a winger and not our seventh striker, here we go again!
I thought Bebe was an inside forward..............?
Bebe seemed to have a free role for his prior club. As for Sanchez, it's interesting that Fergie would make these comments as it's usually like getting blood from a stone. Udinese are bottom of Serie A right now so if that continues we may be able to get him cheap.
Shouldn't we be looking at more natural left footed players? Nani can play both wings, but Valencia can't, which leaves us short on the left.
Yes. However we do have Obertan who plays down the left. Plus the on loan Cleverely on our books.
Maybe Fergie wants to develop him into an attacking midfielder?
I think that position would suit him as he likes to come inside when on the wings.

Sanchez is a Walcott. He's a quick little bastard who is currently best deployed as a winger but will probably be moulded into an ACM/Striker.
HAHAHAHAHA Love the honesty, intellengce in comment and might I add that it is thought commonly agreed with in Chile.
Lefty, we need more
Sanchez can actually cross the ball and score the goals.
Yes please!!
I don't often let myself get all "muppety" when it comes to potential signings but this kid is the fecking real deal.
So the actual quote is:
"United? Obviously I'd like to play for a club like that.
"Malaga? Why not. Whatever the side, all this is dealt with by my agent, as he is the one who talks to the clubs."

Was watching the Inter-Udinese game just yesterday, I'd forgotten how impressive Sanchez's first touch is for a winger. And he's always open to playing the simple pass instead of beating two or three men unnecessarily.
I feel Nani on the right and him opportating like a Robben type player on the left will be pro-active. However we will need two work horse midfielders.
So he's open to joining us or err...Malaga.
Malaga it is then.
Sanchez would be a great signing for us. He is a versatile player who brings pace and quality to the side.
The have new wealth and are planinning on investing in youth!! Their blueprint sounds very attractive however they will be only one winner if it is a race between them and us.
Man Utd watching Udinese Chile pair Sanchez, Isla
Manchester United are tracking Udinese pair Alexis Sanchez and Mauricio Isla.
The Chilean pair are highly admired by United boss Sir Alex Ferguson and are emerging as major transfer targets for the Premiership giants.
"It's nice to know Manchester likes me," said Sanchez. "The future is in the hands of my agent. We listen to everyone."
Ferguson may bring forward plans for Sanchez with it emerging today that Inter Milan have held three rounds of talks with Udinese about the winger.
Isla, a central midfielder, is tied to Udinese until 2015 and almost signed with AS Roma in the summer.
