Alexis Sanchez Ready to Fight for Old Trafford Future Despite Man Utd's Desperation to Sell

Alexis Sanchez is ready to dig his heels in and see out his Manchester United contract despite the Red Devils' desperation to get rid of their hugely disappointing top earner.

Sanchez arrived at United last January in a swap deal with Arsenal that saw Henrikh Mkhitaryan head to the Emirates, but the Chilean has struggled immensely at Old Trafford, scoring just one Premier League goal this season while earning as much as £500,000 per week.

Initially championed as a substantial coup to steal the winger from under the nose of rivals Manchester City, Sanchez's time at United has quickly turned into a nightmare.
