Manchester derby for Sanchez: striker not selected for Arsenal’s match versus Bournemouth

Arsenal Wenger has dropped a few hints concerning Alexi Sanchez’ future. First he refused to answer questions about him in the pre match press conference, and today he didn’t select the Chilean international for Arsenal’s match against Bournemouth. The departure now seems inevitable, both Manchester clubs are competing for his signature. City had acted first by offering 20 million to acquire him this season rather than waiting until his contract expires, but in the last few days Manchester United joined the race in a forceful way by offering Mkhitaryan in the deal- the Manchester derby is also taking place on the transfer market.
