Mourinho 'not unconfident' Manchester United will sign Sanchez
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho expects other clubs to make a move for Alexis Sanchez but maintains he is relaxed about the situation.
Jose Mourinho is "relaxed" in his pursuit of Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez, with Manchester United widely seen to be in pole position to secure the Chile forward.
Sanchez has long been touted for a move to Manchester City and a reunion with his former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola, but the Premier League leaders were unable to complete a deadline day switch in August.
Events are understood to have developed dramatically over recent days, with City reported to have pulled out of the running on account of increased financial demands from Sanchez and his agent Fernando Felicevich, while also remaining shy of Arsenal's asking price.
Chelsea were rumoured late on Monday to be readying a last-ditch bid to hijack United's plans and Mourinho expects further twists over the coming days
"I am not confident but I am not unconfident. I am just relaxed," the United boss told a news conference after Monday's 3-0 win over Stoke City.
"He is an Arsenal player, he can stay there, but I have a feeling he can move and if he moves I think we have a chance.
"Other big clubs are probably interested. Who knows."
