Alexis Sanchez signed for Manchester United in January amid huge fanfare but failed to live up to the lofty expectations of fans around the globe. Though he was a regular starter for Jose Mourinho, he failed to come up with the goods.
He did spring to life on the odd occasion like the Manchester derby where he was one of United’s best players and notched up 2 assists and created the chance that led to the other goal.
The 29-year-old has now admitted that he had an underwhelming start to life at Manchester United. He told Sky Sports,
“The truth is I’m very eager to get started with the new season, and I’m very motivated,”
“I think when you go to a new club in the middle of a season it’s always hard.
“I want to now show everyone what I know I can do and what I’m capable of and bring something to the team and performing for my team-mates.”
“At United we have to sign big players, with experience.”
“Barcelona just signed Arturo Vidal, who is a great player and my team-mate from Chile.”
“From what I’ve seen in training, Fred is a player who always wants to get forward.
