Sanchez to undergo medical at Carrington
Alexis Sanchez is set to undergo a medical at Manchester United on Sunday as his potential swap deal with Henrikh Mkhitaryan edges closer to completion.
It is understood that Alexis Sanchez is in Manchester after travelling north on Saturday, thus missing the Gunners' 4-1 win over Crystal Palace.
Having said goodbye to his teammates on Friday, the Chilean was given permission to travel north in order to discuss the terms of his contract at his new club and complete a medical examination.
On the other hand, Mkhitaryan is London to seal what will be a straight swap deal between United and Arsenal, although the final paperwork on the transfer is yet to be signed off by all parties involved.
According to 'Sky Sports', Sanchez will undergo his Manchester United medical at Carrington on Sunday, although an announcement is not expected from the club until Monday.
Arsenal and United are expected to make a simultaneous announcement on Monday confirming the swap deal has been completed, once both players have passed their respective medicals.
