Man Utd closing in on Sanchez deal: Mourinho
Manchester, Jan 19 (IANS) Manchester United head coach Jose Mourinho on Friday said his club is close to signing star forward Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal.
“Nothing new. Clearly everyone knows that we are there and especially when the Arsenal manager speaks so clearly like he did, there is no point in trying to hide or deny,” the Portuguese said.
Mourinho, however, did not explain the nature of the deal and said until there is an official announcement Henrikh Mkhitaryan is a Manchester United player and Alexis Sanchez remains an Arsenal forward.
“But not done, not done at all. In this moment Mkhitaryan is our player, Sanchez an Arsenal player,” Mourinho added.
When asked what has taken so long for the deal to be cracked, the 54-year-old said: “I don’t know. Sometimes people think transfers involve the managers a lot in the negotiations.
“I think it depends a lot on the type of club the way we establish our jobs and in my case when it goes to the table of negotiations I like to be out. I’m out. I will just be calmly waiting for news. No more than that.
“I don’t know. My involvement in the situation is just to say the reasons why I would like to have the player and no more than that. I’m out.”

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
