Alexis Sanchez looks set to decide between the two Manchester sides and the Red Devils are looking to sweeten the deal by offering him the fabled No 7 shirt, as revealed by Chilean outlet 'Cooperativa'.
George Best, Eric Cantona, David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo are some of the former owners of the historic shirt number, which is currently vacant at Old Trafford.
With City holding crunch talks and United willing to make Sanchez the highest-paid player in the Premier League and indulge his agent's demands, perhaps the offer of the iconic shirt number will be the key detail in securing the Chile star's signature.
