Manchester United are understood to be sending scouts to
watch Alexis Sanchez play for Udinese in the Uefa Cup on Thursday
night.
The exciting Chile winger was reckoned to be a top target for
United last summer at the height of the talk regarding Cristiano
Ronaldo and a move to Real Madrid.
Since then, he has continued to impress for both club and
country and is popular with supporters because of his dribbling
skills.
The match with Werder Bremen gives United the perfect
opportunity to assess the 20-year-old in action against top-class
opposition and representatives are expected to be present in
Germany.
Sanchez, who is being valued in the £12 million class, shone for
Chile in their recent World Cup qualifying win against Peru.
If Udinese get through, they could be facing Manchester City in
the last four of the competition, providing Mark Hughes's men get
past Hamburg.
