Modern day football strikes again. Alexis Sanchez scarves are currently on sale outside Old Trafford, despite the fact he hasn't actually completed a medical yet.
Sanchez waved goodbye to his Arsenal teammates on Friday night after a 'dramatic breakthrough' in the transfer saga and in the late hours, the 29-year-old travelled to Manchester to complete a deal.
Although the transfer does seem to be close, a certain United fan couldn't wait to celebrate the 'new signing':
