Sanches, Not Vidal, Could Move to Manchester?
Bayern Munich manager Carlo Ancelotti was clear in saying that Arturo Vidal will not be leaving the club: “There is no way. Vidal is our player, I have a lot of confidence (in keeping him).” But rumours swirl that Manchester United might just have a chance at signing Renato Sanches, who would be welcomed by fans. Regarding Sanches, Ancelotti said: “It could be a possibility, but it can also be a possibility to stay with us. At this moment Renato is training with us.”
