And while fans eagerly await an official announcement, Sanchez appeared to confirm that the deal was done on Instagram.
Arsenal fan TV regular Troopz posted a picture of himself with Sanchez outside a London barbers, with a caption saying goodbye.
And the 29-year-old forward liked the post before commenting on it with a pair of sad face emojis.
Sanchez then deleted the comment, but not before provoking a huge reaction from Arsenal and United fans.
The post was captioned: "I loved this man like cook food but it's time to say goodbye!!!"
Jose Mourinho admitted that United 'are there' on a move for Sanchez, but no deal has yet been done.
"Nothing new," Mourinho said. "I think clearly everybody knows that we are there and especially when Arsenal manager speaks so clearly like he did there is no point in trying to hide or deny but not done at all.
"So in this moment Mkhitaryan our player, Sanchez an Arsenal player and with a match tomorrow I want to switch off and focus on the most important thing, which is the match.
"I don't know [if it is dependent on Mkhitaryan]. Sometimes people thinks transfers involve a lot the managers in the negotiations, I think it depends on the profile of the club, the way we establish our jobs and in my case when it goes to the table of negotiations I like to be out, I am out and I will just calmly waiting for news, no more than that."
