Various clubs across Europe have been heavily linked with big-money approaches, with Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich among them.

Manchester City have also been credited with holding an interest, but eight-time Olympic gold medal winner Bolt believes Sanchez would be a perfect addition for Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford.

One of United’s most famous supporters told Fox Sports: "I know Alexis. He plays for Arsenal. He should leave.

"He would be great [at United]. He's a player who I've always said [we need] over the years. We need someone who is capable of picking up the ball and creating chances for other people

"He's proven himself to be one of the best."

The 28-year-old has vowed to hold further talks with Arsenal regarding his future in the summer, but he is yet to offer any suggestion as to whether he is planning to stay put or move on.
