United later confirmed the Chilean would be flying to the States.
The Red Devils said in a statement: “There is good news on the Alexis Sanchez front as the Chilean star has been given the green light to fly to the United States to join Tour 2018.
“The South American forward should be available soon to link up with his colleagues, following the first match of the trip against Club America in Arizona. ”
United play Club America on Friday at the University of Phoenix Stadium before taking on San Jose Earthquakes, AC Milan, Liverpool and Real Madrid during the pre-season tour.
Speaking about Sanchez’s absence at a press conference on Wednesday, United boss Jose Mourinho said: “It’s really bad and he’s really sad.
“It’s not good for him and not good for me, or for the team. There is no-one
to blame. I know the club is making the effort but the US authorities have their
processes.
“Hopefully, he can at least join us later because it is important to work with
Juan Mata, Alexis and Anthony Martial, who we think are the players we have for the start of the season. There is no (Romelu) Lukaku, (Marcus) Rashford or
(Jesse) Lingard (all of whom were involved in the World Cup semi-finals).”
