According to The Sun, David Gill is in Spain today trying to tie-up the signing of Udinese winger Alexis Sanchez.
Why Spain you ask, Isn’t Udinese an Italian team? Yes, but it happens that Udinese’s President Gino Pozzo lives in Barcelona.
Barcelona and Man City have been rumored to be leading the chase for the £27million Sanchez, but he seemingly prefers a move to Old Trafford instead of the Eastlands. Obviously he wants to come to England and win trophies instead of just collecting a paycheck!
If United do sign Sanchez, and finalize the Ashley Young deal, that Is two wingers. What does that mean for Nani? Valenica has the right-wing position and I would expect that either Young or Sanchez would play on the left. That leaves Nani on the bench, something that will not make him happy.
I wonder then if United will use Nani in a deal to land a top central midfielder like Wesley Sneijder?
What do you think about United potentially signing Sanchez? Do you think that Nani will still be at United next season?

Nani is a great ply nd he mst to stay in OT nxt season
well nani is goin to stay as mucha s he can. if i cvome to talk about alex sanchez,he may gave surprise to manu fans. coz every player come with big surprises . lets wait n watch
Alexis will be good signing, But would not like to see Nani Leaves United, Nani has prooved to be good for the past two season he should stays.

Manutd should prioritize signing a central midfielder then can use nani to bargain for a top class winger.
I think a central midfielder is on the radar Eddie. That deal is just taking longer than these other ones to get down
i will luv it if united sign alexis. wat wil lack in previous season2010/2011 are good winger n mid fielder also dis wil make prayer like nani to be more focus n serious
I think Sanchez will be a good signing for Manchester United if we could get him. The problem is not may be David Gill travel to Spain or not, the problem is for we United fans to see the deal get done and not rumours or gossip.
if the sanchez and yotng deals go thru thrz definetely no room 4 nani.He should jst go and wesley b brought in.We hav parted wth the gr8s lyk cantona.becks.keano.stam.tevez.olsjaer.ruud.cr7.van de sar.scholsey etc so it wuldnt twitch my muscle 2c hm go.so long as hs position has a potenial replacmentwe nid to atend to our achilles heel wch iz the central mdfield
I will like to see sanchez in old trafford and fergie must anything in his disposal to bring him.and for big nani i dont want to lose him bcus i realy love nani as man u player.
sanchez good skillfull player with speed and control with end product, would be good to see him at OT. nani would be an acceptable loss if we could get 10 mill for him. how many times does he dive lose the ball hit it miles wide. dont care how many assists or goals he has got this year. he is also in and out of matches when the going gets tough nani hides we only see him 10 mis in a game against tough teams. he has improved a bit but not to the standard at what man united need.
