Alexis Sanchez's agent has claimed that Manchester United want to sign the Udinese forward.

The Chile international's representative, Fernando Felicevich, claims the Red Devils are one of a number of Premier League clubs in talks about a potential deal for the 20-year-old.

Sanchez impressed in Serie A last season after spending the previous campaign on loan with Argentinian outfit River Plate and now it looks like he could be set for a move to England.

"My partner is currently in England working on the transfer of Alexis," Felicevich told Setanta.com.

"Yes, we have spoken to Manchester United, but not just to United.

"We have also held talks with other English teams. We are trying to do the transfer this summer."
