According to several media reports, Inter Milan have urged Man United to extend the Alexis Sanchez loan deal for the second time. Earlier last month, the Red Devils had agreed to extend Sanchez's Inter Milan contract until the end of the Serie A season. His initial contract was to end on June 30 but was extended keeping in view the delay in the completion of the domestic season due to the coronavirus-induced lockdown.

However, Inter Milan will also play in the Europa League, that is set to be completed in the month of August, which is why the Nerazzurri have urged Man United to negotiate for a further contract extension for the Chilean forward.
