Alexis Sanchez is desperate to stay with Manchester United.

The Sunday Express says it has been suggested that United will try and get his £500,000 a week wages off their wage bill to free up even more funds for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to spend.

But they could find that easier said than done even if they heavily subsidence his wages which will put him out of all but a few elite clubs.

While Alexis Sanchez could kick start his stuttering career elsewhere a source has said that he doesn't have “any plans to leave and wants to remain at United."

Sanchez, 30, has scored just one Premier League goal this season and one in the FA Cup.
