'Other clubs also interested' in Alexis claims Man Utd boss Mourinho

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho says it is likely other clubs are interested in Alexis Sanchez.

A report emerged Monday stating Manchester City had ended their pursuit of the 29-year-old due to the cost of the deal.

And now Sky Sports has claimed Chelsea have entered the race to sign the talented Chilean.

Speaking after United defeated Stoke 3-0 on Monday, Mourinho was asked if Manchester United were in the driving seat to sign Alexis Sanchez, to which he replied: "I've no idea. Today I was completely separate from all of that - I was just focused on my match and not worried about anything else.

"I'm not going to speak about hypothetical situations. Probably there are other clubs also interested and trying and I shouldn't talk about a player who is an Arsenal player."
