United and City battle for Sanchez


The Daily Mail reports that the two clubs are in a £55 million summer transfer tussle over Sanchez and Internazionale playmaker Wesley Sneijder.
Manchester United are going head-to-head with neighbours Manchester City for the right to sign Udinese's Chilean winger Alexis Sanchez

United have outlined an £18m offer to Udinese for Sanchez, weeks after City underlined their desire to sign the player who was a star at the World Cup.
Big-spending City are also interested in Bayern Munich's teenage midfielder Christian Derflinger according to the same paper.
And the Mail also reports that Arsenal and Liverpool could be priced out of a bid for Paris Saint-Germain centre-back Mamadou Sakho.
A £20m price tag on the 21-year-old means the Gunners may turn to Montpellier's Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa or Emir Spahic.
Tottenham and Sunderland are also looking to Ligue 1 and a £12m bid for Lorient striker Kevin Gameiro (Daily Mirror).
Harrry Redknapp and Steve Bruce are expected to head to France to watch the 20-goal leading scorer.
Another striker on the move, according to the red top, could be Andy Johnson with West Brom planning a summer swoop for the Fulham striker.
And the Mirror claims QPR want to sign Rangers' Algerian defender Madjid Bougherra for their return to the Premier League.
The 28-year-old could be snatched for around £1m with Neil Warnock planning to bring a number of new faces to Loftus Road.
But the Hoops face a disciplinary hearing this week and The Sun claim that the play-offs in the Championship may be delayed.
Rangers clinched promotion to the Premier League on Saturday but could be deducted points if they are found guilty of breaking third-party ownership rules over the signing of Alejandro Faurlin.
A points deduction could see them drop into the play-off places and the League has made contingency plans if Rangers then decide to appeal.
And finally Kevin Davies has become the latest Premier League player to quit Twitter after the Bolton striker and his wife Emma received abusive messages.
Manchester United midfielder Darron Gibson closed his account last week.
