Mourinho confirms Sanchez to Man Utd transfer is ‘not done at all’

Jose Mourinho has confirmed that Manchester United are still waiting to complete their pursuit of Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez.

United have been strongly linked with the Chile international, who is out of contract at the Emirates in the summer, with Henrikh Mkhitaryan potentially moving to the Gunners as part of a swap deal.

But Sanchez and Mkhitaryan will not be playing for their potential new clubs this weekend as the deadline for registering new players for Premier League action passed at midday on Friday with no deals concluded.

Speaking at Friday’s press conference, Mourinho said: “(There is) nothing new.

“I think clearly everybody knows that we are there and especially when Arsenal’s manager speaks so clearly like he did there is no point in trying to hide or to deny. But (it’s) not done, not done at all.”

Mkhitaryan, who could move the other way, will not be involved against Burnley.

Mourinho added: “No, (he is) not selected. But (he is) in very good condition.”
