BURY BOOTED OUT

MANCHESTER UNITED have

agreed to send Alexis Sanchez

on loan to Inter Milan.

The Italians will pay around

£4.5million of the Chile

forward’s £21m annual salary,

though there is no agreement

to make the deal permanent.

Sanchez is due in Milan today to

complete a medical and team

up with former Old Trafford

teammate Romelu Lukaku.

His temporary departure ends a

nightmare chapter in the 30-

year-old’s career. Sanchez

snubbed a move to Premier

League champions Manchester

City for a more lucrative

contract with United in January

2018 in a swap deal that saw

Henrikh Mkhitaryan join

Arsenal.

However, Sanchez has struggled

to make an impact under either

Jose Mourinho or Ole Gunnar

Solskjaer, scoring five goals in 45

appearances while earning

around £400,000 a week.

Bury were last night

expelled from the Foot-

ball League after 134

years, as the EFL board

decided time was up for

the League One crisis

club.

With only minutes to go

before the League One club

hit a 5pm deadline, a number

of apparently interested par-

ties suddenly stepped for-

ward. But six hours later, the

EFL issued a statement

confirming the expulsion.

It said: ‘The EFL board met

earlier this evening and, after a

long and detailed discussion,

determined that Bury’s mem-

bership of the English Football

League be withdrawn after the

deadline passed at 5pm today

without successful resolution.’

The end had appeared nigh

for Bury when it emerged that

a takeover by C&N Sporting

risk had fallen through 90

minutes before yesterday’s

EFL-set deadline. The group

pulled the plug after saying it

needed more time.

The other north-west crisis

club, Bolton Wanderers, were

given a 14-day reprieve to

clinch a deal with a new buyer.

But at Bury, with the clock

ticking, as many as seven bids

Jimmy’s back

for England

Mail, Wednesday, August 28, 20

JIMMY ANDERSON will be

included in England’s

fourth Test squad after

coming through an

extensive workout for

Lancashire 2nd XI

yesterday (right).

The addition of England’s

record wicket-taker is

likely to be the only

change for Old Trafford,

meaning out-of-touch

batsmen Jason Roy and

Jos Buttler are retained.

Roy looks set to drop to

No 4 while Joe Denly will

open. Anderson took one

for 38 off 20 overs against

Durham and — as long as

there is no reaction — is in

line to win his 150th cap at

his home ground.
