Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Man Utd outcast Sanchez eyes January move to PSG

Alexis Sanchez is hoping for an exit from Manchester United with Paris Saint-Germain at the top of his list, reports the <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/alexis-sanchez-aiming-leave-man-13479959" target="_blank">Mirror</a>. The forward has fallen out of favour at Old Trafford and grown tired of Jose Mourinho's criticisms of him, so his agents are looking for a potential exit. PSG are one of the few clubs who could afford Sanchez's wages and pay a transfer fee, which United want, but clubs in Spain and Italy also remain possibilities.&nbsp;
