Alexis Sanchez has said goodbye to his Manchester United team-mates as he closes in on a season-long loan move to Inter Milan.
The Chile international forward posted a good luck message and photo to his soon-to-be former colleagues on his Instagram on Thursday afternoon.
Inter are expected to pay around £4.5m of Sanchez's salary but will not have an option to buy the 30-year-old as part of the deal.
Inter already signed Romelu Lukaku from United for a fee of around £73m earlier this month.
Sanchez's imminent departure will leave United with just Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and 17-year-old Mason Greenwood as striking options for manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to call upon.
