The deal of the window so far was finally announced at 6pm as Alexis Sanchez and Henrikh Mkhitaryan traded places. Chile forward Sanchez spent three-and-a-half years with Arsenal, where Mkhitaryan will hope to revive his career after a frustrating 18-month spell at Old Trafford. United boss Jose Mourinho said: “Alexis is one of the best attacking players in the world and he will complete our very young and talented group of attacking players. Dortmund are said to have suggested a swap involving Olivier Giroud, however a straight cash deal is still being pursued. Arsenal and Tottenham target Malcom will not be leaving Bordeaux this month, according to the French club’s new manager Gus Poyet.
