La Tercera may as well brand their sport section Diario Alexis Sanchez this week, because the new Manchester United player is being given wall to wall coverage.
The screenshot above is the Chilean newspaper’s sport section, not a specialist page for Sanchez or Premier League football, just their standard sport home page. And yet every story above the fold is about Sanchez’s move to Manchester United.
Weak rumours of potential Manchester United interest in the player, which started, naturally, on Twitter have been grasped by La Tercera to put together an article titled ‘In Europe they say Arturo Vidal could follow Alexis Sánchez at Manchester United’.
Already going off on their own dream tangent, La Tercera explain both Chilean superstars are represented by Fernando Felicevich and the agent was crucial in Sanchez’s Manchester United transfer.
If this story grows, regardless of whether it’s got any truth in, then some in the Chilean media may burst with the excitement.
