Sanchez became one of the players who had the chance to be released by United because of the large salary but lack of contribution.
Manchester United will reportedly sell five players to fund the transfer of Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund this summer.
Sancho has been United’s main target, but the Dortmund winger’s transfer fee is not cheap because it can reach more than £ 100 million, not to mention the salary of around £ 170,000 per week.
Therefore, the plan will only get the green light from the club’s deputy chief executive, Ed Woodward, provided that manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to sell some players who have no contribution to his scheme.
The Mirror mention, Alexis Sanchez, Jesse Lingard, Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Andreas Pereira are at the forefront of the list of players who are very likely to be on sale in United this summer heat transfer market.
Sanchez’s performance has been very disappointing since being bartered with Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who moved to Arsenal, in January 2018.
The Chilean star was even loaned out to Inter Milan at the start of the 2019/20 season despite being the player with the biggest salary at the club, earning £ 400,000 per week. He will return to Old Trafford at the end of the season after Inter are reluctant to buy him permanently.

Likewise with Lingard’s performance, which continues to decline and United’s academy product seems to be leaving. There were transfer talks about the England international, with AS Roma and Atletico Madrid hoping to sign him for £ 20 million.
Then, Andreas Pereira is also very likely to be released after the future of the young Brazilian midfielder looked bleak after the arrival of Bruno Fernandes. The central defender duo, Chris Smalling, is on loan at Rome, and Phil Jones will reportedly also be sold for a total of £ 25 million.
Sancho performed brilliantly in the Bundesliga this season with a score of 17 goals and 16 assists. He is reportedly interested in moving to United despite having been part of the academy of their city rivals, Manchester City.
