Two of Alexis Sanchez's best goals from his time in Chile, before he made his name in Europe

With Alexis Sanchez on the verge of a transfer to Manchester United, take a look at some of the goals that first earned him a move to Europe back in 2006.

Sanchez made his name in his native Chile with Cobreloa where he was spotted by Italian side Udinese - a club famed for their ability to spot young talent.

Udinese loaned Sanchez to another Chilean side, Colo-Colo, and later to Argentinian giants River Plate.

Sanchez returned to Udinese in 2008 and began to forge his reputation in Europe. Barcelona came calling three years later, where he won a La Liga title and a Spanish Cup.

Arsene Wenger then brought Sanchez to England in 2014, during which time the forward has established himself as one of the best players in the country.

But with the 29-year-old's contract due to expire in the summer, Manchester United have come calling in a deal that could see Henrikh Mkhitaryan move in the other direction.
