Sanchez has struggled to make an impact at Old Trafford since the big swap deal with Arsenal that saw Henrikh Mkhitaryan go the other way.
The Chile international joined United in January 2018 amid much fanfare, after putting pen to paper on a contract worth an eye-watering £500,000-a-week, including bonuses and image rights.
But his time with the Red Devils has proved a disaster on the pitch – with injury, a dramatic loss of form and the club’s struggles under Jose Mourinho contributing to his personal decline.
Sanchez turned 30 last year and is set to miss the next six weeks with a knee injury sustained during United’s recent 3-2 win over Southampton last.
With only two months to go until Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side complete their Premier League season at home to Cardiff, Sanchez may have even played his last game for the club.
According to the Daily Star, Sanchez is so desperate to leave United he is willing to take a wage cut just to get out.
He has apparently told his representatives that he wants to join a new club this summer, but knows there are few places he could earn the same money.
China might provide such an opportunity and United boss Solskjaer is willing to let the struggling forward go.
But it is claimed there is a concern among the club’s hierarchy that it won’t be possible to move Sanchez on and they could be stuck with an unhappy player next season.
An option suggested could that both parties discuss a pay-off for Sanchez to get him off the club’s books.
And Sanchez is likely to sit down with key decision-maker Woodward in the coming weeks for talks.
The former Arsenal, Barcelona and Udinese flyer has scored just five goals in his last 41 appearances.
