Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted Manchester United are tracking Udinese sensation Alexis Sanchez.
The Chile international enjoyed an outstanding World Cup campaign to enhance his reputation as one of the most promising young forwards on the planet.
With sources close to the wide man previously suggesting he dreams of playing for the Red Devils, it's likely the United boss will continue monitoring his form in Serie A this season. (
"We have looked at Sanchez and he has impressed us," said Ferguson. "As have other players.
"He has had very good games and is an interesting project.
"We have gathered some background, as with other footballers at his level, but nothing more than this - for the moment."
United snapped up Antonio Valencia from Wigan instead to patrol the right flank, although the serious injury he sustained against Rangers has halted his progress at Old Trafford.
Ferguson also admitted he was disappointed not to land Marcelo Salas, a United target in the nineties, when he was on the hunt for a new striker.
"We have watched some Chileans in the past," he recalled.
"The most interesting case was that of Salas, who had a brilliant World Cup but he was at Lazio.
"We would have liked to have had him."
