Inter Milan are confident closing a deal for Manchester United striker Alexis Sanchez.

Sky Italia says Inter remain optimistic they can negotiate a loan deal with United for Alexis.

Talks between the two clubs are continuing over a season-long loan, which will cost the Serie A club just under £11m.

The 30-year-old joined United from Arsenal in January 2018 as part of a swap deal for Henrikh Mkhitaryan but has only scored three Premier League goals in 32 appearances since leaving north London.

Sanchez has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford all summer as he does not look to be instrumental in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's plans for the season.
