Your support makes all the difference.Manchester United have agreed a loan deal with Internazionale for Alexis Sanchez, the highest-paid player at Old Trafford.
Sanchez is expected to join Inter until the end of the season, with the Serie A club set to pay a proportion of his basic £391,000-a-week wages.
The 30-year-old will fly to Milan and undergo a medical in the hope of completing the move before the Italian transfer window closes on 2 September.
The loan agreement does not include an option to buy, leaving United in control of Sanchez's future should he regain form in Italy.
Sanchez has disappointed since joining from Arsenal in January, scoring just five goals in 45 appearances for United.
The Chile international has fallen out of favour under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and was eager to leave Old Trafford this summer in order to resurrect his career.
Sanchez is set to reunite with former United team-mate Romelu Lukaku, who joined Inter in a £74m deal earlier this month.
