Alexis Sanchez will leave Arsenal before the 3rd of February, but who will he join in the coming days - will it be Manchester United or Manchester City?
Despite that fact that Pep Guardiola's side have expressed an interest in recent weeks, the club have now reportedly 'pulled the plug' on a deal for Alexis Sanchez, according to Manchester City correspondent Sam Lee.
Apparently the transfer was all agreed, but his agent Fernando Felicevich told the club that Manchester United are offering more in both wages and fees.
Sam Lee goes on to explain how Sanchez wanted to play under Guardiola once again.

But the Manchester City manager has doubted the player's commitment after reports emerged of a potential move to rivals Manchester United.
The Independent have also reported today that the signing of Sanchez could be made as early as Monday, with the player 'greatly leaning' towards a move to Old Trafford.
