Reports: No.7 shirt will be taken by Sanchez if he completes a switch to Old Trafford

Sanchez, who currently wears the no.7 shirt for Arsenal, is edging closer to joining Manchester United

Manchester United are willing to offer Alexis Sanchez  number 7 shirt should he complete his switch to Old Trafford, according to reports in Chile newspaper El Mercurio.  

United have emerged as strong contenders because of their willingness to meet Arsenal's £35 million ($48 million, 39 million euros) asking price, with the possibility of Henrikh Mkhitaryan being included as part of any deal.
