Man Utd to demand £25m transfer fee for Alexis Sanchez next summer with Chilean having no chance of Old Trafford return regardless of form at Inter Milan

MANCHESTER UNITED will offload Alexis Sanchez next summer and demand at least £25million for him.
The Chilean winger has had a disastrous spell at Old Trafford and was sent out on loan to Inter Milan for the season.
He has started brightly in Serie A and has already hinted at a permanent switch to Antonio Conte’s side.
And United see no way the ex-Arsenal ace can return to the club, regardless of how successful his loan is.
The Red Devils would use the majority of the transfer fee for Sanchez to pay off part of a mega severance package.
The 30-year-old is owed around £50m in wages with almost three-years left out his £505,000-a-week contract.
An Old Trafford source said: “The plan is to get some money back and use that to pay off most of his contract.
“There is a hope that he has a good spell at Inter and they or another club want to take him off our hands next summer.
“We have a fair valuation as he still has a few good years left in him based on his age and his strong reputation."
