Alexis Sanchez has all but completed his move to Manchester United, with Henrikh Mkhitaryan joining in the opposite direction.

That’s according toTV journalist Thibaud Vezirian, who tweeted to his 26k followers that the deal is ‘done’.

The tweet translates to “The transfer of @HenrikhMkh to @Arsenal, it’s done! Alexis Sanchez go to @ManUtd.”

Sanchez has created quite the storm in the past nine months regarding a move away. The Chilean who has less than six months to run on his current contract saw a proposed move to Man City fall through last summer.

It was thought the Citizens would complete a deal for the hitman this month, but rivals United’s late swoop has ruled Pep Guardiola’s side out of the running.

Arsenal were due to get the £35m they paid Barcelona for the star in 2014. However, Gunners fans will hope a straight swap for Mkhitaryan will see the Armenian rekindle the form he showed for Borussia Dortmund.
