According to Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs, anyone who gets Alexis Sanchez is extremely lucky.

The Chilean is expected to leave Arsenal any day now after Gunners boss Arsene Wenger confirmed on Sunday that an exit could sealed 'within 48 hours'.

It has been reported that Manchester United are the frontrunners, having agreed to Arsenal's £35m asking price and presenting Sanchez with a contract worth £18m a season.

"Whoever gets him, or whether he stays at Arsenal, they're lucky," said the new Wales manager.

"He's not only a goalscorer, but he makes goals and works hard. So whoever gets him will be a lucky team because he is a top, top player.

"It doesn't happen very often where you're running down your contract, you've only got six months to go and you're able to get a player relatively cheap in this environment. But it is what it is, and like I said, whoever gets Alexis Sanchez will be extremely lucky."
