Alexis Sanchez boards private jet ahead of his medical at Manchester United's Carrington training ground

Alexis Sanchez has boarded a private jet ahead of his move from Arsenal to Manchester United.

Sanchez is due in Manchester for a medical at the club's Carrington training ground on Sunday evening to complete his swap deal from Arsenal, with United manager Jose Mourinho declaring: 'I think we are going to be successful.'

United's Henrikh Mkhitaryan has agreed personal terms to move to Arsenal in the opposite direction, but the Gunners opening £44million bid for Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been rejected so they will try again.
