And when asked about the status if the transfer, Mourinho finally admitted that United are indeed in talks to complete a move for Sanchez.

“There is no point in trying to hide or deny, but it is not done at all,” said Mourinho.

“I think clearly everybody knows that we are there and especially when Arsenal manager speaks so clearly like he did.”
