Man Utd transfer news: Alexis Sanchez is wanted by Red Devils fans
Alexis Sanchez in great form at Arsenal training
There's just hours left until the transfer window shuts at 11pm on Thursday and United supporters are eager to get a big deal over the line.
That's despite their side storming to the top of the table having won three out of three and scoring 10 goals.
Sanchez wants to leave Arsenal and United's fierce rivals City are trying to get a £60million deal over the line.
That hasn't stopped fans posting hopeful tweets to the official club account to try and influence a Sanchez signing.
United tweeted yesterday "Top of the @PremierLeague AND it's a Bank Holiday! #MondayMotivation" - and it was greeted with hundreds of transfer-related replies.
One user simply replied "Announce Sanchez" while another continued on a similar line and said: "Announce Sanchez or Danny Rose."
One user said "I think Alexis should put on A red devils Jersey now..I felt for him yesterday when Liverpool crushed Arsenal" and another, referencing the move to sign Robin van Persie from Arsenal, wrote: "announce sanchez , make it like RVP."
Fellow fans added "Announce Alexis!!!!", "#SignSanchez" and "Sanchez our new number 7, announce now".
Sanchez has less than a year left on his current contract and is yet to sign a new deal. It means he can speak to interested clubs and sign a pre-contract agreement, which would allow him to leave for free next year, in January.

Sanchez made his first appearance of the Premier League season in the 4-0 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday.
That was after he was given extra time off in the summer after competing for Chile at the Confederations Cup in Russia.
Sanchez scored 30 goals in 51 games for Arsenal last season.
