Manchester United have almost wrapped up the deal to sign Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal and it seems that the Red Devils are just getting started.

Sanchez’s move to Old Trafford could be announced any time now and the whole deal currently rests on Henrikh Mkhitaryan agreeing to Arsenal’s terms – as he is also part of the deal.

But if reports are to believed then Jose Mourinho has plans on making another high profile signing after securing a deal for Sanchez.

Manchester United will make a move for Real Madrid outcast Gareth Bale once Sanchez wears a red shirt. While one report has gone on to claim that the bid for Bale could be launched as early as January but we believe that Zidane will not let the Welshman leave during the current transfer window.

So a summer transfer bid looks much more probable as the Los Blancos hierarchy have made it clear to their manager that he will have to shed all the dead weight from the locker room if he wishes to make any new signings.

Madrid are chasing Chelsea signing Eden Hazard and reports have suggested that Bale is the one who will make way for the Belgian International.

So clearly if Manchester United are serious in signing Gareth Bale then surely it is bad news for Chelsea.
