Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed Alexis Sanchez will complete a permanent move to Inter Milan on Thursday.

Sanchez joined Inter on loan from United in
August last year and the Serie A club have been keen to secure the 31-year-old on a permanent basis.

Inter chief executive Giuseppe Moratta  revealed earlier on Wednesday that they would be announcing Sanchez as their player on Thursday.

"I believe so," Solskjaer told BT Sport when asked if that was the case.

"I can confirm that. Alexis has had a good time over there, a good player, so we wish him all the best."

Marotta is reported on the Football Italia website to have told reporters that Sanchez has signed a three-year contract.

"Unofficially, we'll make it official (on Thursday) morning, the player is entirely owned by Inter," Marotta is quoted as saying.

"We have a contract with him for three seasons. We believe in him, that he can be a strong part of this squad and are happy to have concluded this deal."

Former Arsenal striker Sanchez has scored four goals in 29 appearances in all competitions for Inter this season.
