The England international has been plagued by injuries in recent seasons and is desperate for game time to boost his World Cup hopes.

That paves the way for an English club to swoop for Arthur and the Daily Mail report that both Chelsea and United are keeping tabs on the youngster.

Jose Mourinho reportedly bid £25m earlier today in an effort to convince Sanchez to join him at United and was prepared to use Henrikh Mkhitaryan as a makeweight to sweeten the deal.
But according to The Sun, Sanchez has dismissed the idea of moving to Old Trafford as he has his heart set on joining the exciting project at City.
