It may even be that United will scout Sanchez for some time and then decide they’re not interested in taking it any further, so this very much seems like something at a really early stage for the time being.

Sevilla do tend to cash in on their best players when big clubs come calling, though, so it will be interesting to see if Sanchez becomes their latest high-profile sale.
