Italy's Seria A side Inter Milan have agreed a deal with Manchester United to sign Alexis Sanchez on loan, according to Sky Sports News.

The deal (10-month agreement) will cost Manchester United around £6m (Sh760 million) and Inter have not agreed an option to buy the Chilean at the end of the season.

Sanchez is set to arrive in Milan today (Wednesday) for a medical. The Antonio Conte led side are expected to contribute around €5m (Sh573 million) of his salary.

If the anticipated deal goes through, Sanchez will link up with his former team-mate Romelu Lukaku, the striker having joined the Serie A club for £74m (Sh9 billion) this summer.
