Utd swoop for £27m Sanchez Manchester United last night stole a march in the battle for Alexis Sanchez when David Gill flew to Spain to seal the deal. And the Old Trafford chief executive hopes to wrap up a £27million transfer for football's most wanted man within the next few days. If Gill pulls off the audacious swoop – pipping Manchester City, Barcelona and a host of other European giants – it will take manager Alex Ferguson's summer spending to an amazing £82m. Gill met Udinese president Gino Pozzo yesterday – ironically in Barcelona, where the Italian supremo lives – to thrash out an agreement. It will come as a crushing blow to City. They believed their massive financial clout had swayed the Chilean winger, 22. But agent Fernando Felicevich said: "An agreement with City? Sanchez's future is still very much wide open. We are working on it and, after meetings with City, we have other new appointments."
