MANCHESTER UNITED face a potential blow in their bid to bring Alex Sandro to Old Trafford, with the defender angling for a move to Paris Saint-Germain, according to reports.
The Brazilian left-back, 27, had a dip in form at the start of last term, but recovered as the season went on.

Juve lost defender Dani Alves to PSG last summer, while Leonardo Bonucci made the switch to AC Milan.
But the Old Lady have had cause to celebrate the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid in a £99million deal.
The club will need to recoup some of those funds and the sale of Sandro could plug any deficit.
And the player has struck up a contractual agreement with PSG, according to Paris United, but that has not been confirmed.
