LONDON: Jose Mourinho said, it is great if Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez to Manchester United player after Manchester City said no longer interested in the Chilean milestone.
Sanchez, 29, has already slammed his last action with Arsenal and last Sunday, Arsene Wenger's manager said that the player's future will be determined within 48 hours.
The issue of Sanchez's future is seen to be over today - after United's 3-0 victory over Stoke and at the same time, Mourinho finds City no longer interested in continuing the effort to get the player while Chelsea are told to join in making the bid.
However, Mourinho when the hearing after the insurrection said, he still does not know about Sanchez's true position.
"There is still no news about Alexis Sanchez, he is still an Arsenal player," he told the BBC. "If he's eternal, he's a good one for Arsenal, and if he comes out he's good for us, and if he goes to another club, the troops must be lucky."
The United manager was also reluctant to express anything when asked about the advantages of United in the effort to get Sanchez.

"I do not know. Today I did not think about it - I was just thinking about this game and not worrying about anything else.
"I do not want to talk about things beyond my reach. There may be other interested clubs and I do not want to talk about Arsenal players."
City-led Pep Guardiola, is understood to have refused to meet Sanchez's transfer fee which reached STG35 million (RM190.6 million) over players who will conclude their contract at Emirates at the end of the season.
If the move comes true, it will be the third biggest transfer record this month involving Premier League club after the transfer of Philippe Coutinho (Liverpool to Barcelona) and Virgil van Dijk (Southampton to Liverpool).
There is also speculation that Mourinho is ready to release United midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan to Arsenal to ensure his effort to get Sanchez to come true.
The rumors have become increasingly clear when the Armenian player is not on the list of players against Stoke.
"He's still my player and I can talk about it," Mourinho said. "He receives a lot of offers, will he leave us? It can happen. The market is now open." - AFP
