Alexis Sanchez to Chelsea: Antonio Conte issues stern Man Utd response
ANTONIO CONTE has dropped a huge hint as to where Alexis Sanchez will move to this month.
The Arsenal forward is out of contract at the end of the season and he is set to leave the north London outfit on the cheap.
Manchester City were leading the race for the Chilean and looked set to land him for £20million.
However, Manchester United then stole a march and stormed into pole position with a £35m deal which is likely to include Henrikh Mkhitaryan going in the opposite direction.
Chelsea then registered an interest but manager Conte has since admitted that his side are out of the running.
