According to 'The Sun', Manchester United plan to take Alexis Sanchez's number 7 to give it to their biggest wish: Jadon Sancho.
Both share the desire to play with that number. If all goes his way, when he returns from the loan in Milan the Chilean should wear it again. However, and this makes the club's plans clear, they would offer it to the young winger as a sign of the intended generational change.
The number is key figure in the club's history. George Best, Eric Cantona, David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo also wore the number.
United were willing to make a big effort for Jadon Sancho before the pandemic, but plans have not changed. As for Alexis Sanchez, he has a contract in force at Old Trafford and must return, although no place is contemplated for him.
