DONE DEAL: ALEXIS SANCHES HAS COMPLETED MANCHESTER UNITED MOVE
"Since
I was a young lad I've always said that my dream was to play for Manchester
United, and I'm not just saying that because I'm here now and today it's come
true," he told MUTV.
"I
always said as a kid that I'd like to play for United and I once spoke to Sir
Alex Ferguson about it. We chatted for around 20 minutes. And I told him that
my dream was to come here to Manchester United."It really is a massive
club, very powerful, and so now, when I got the opportunity to come here, I
looked at the badge and my hairs just stood up on end because it's a powerful
club and the biggest in England.
"I've
always been motivated by this club, by their red colours, which have always
stood out for me and I'm genuinely saying this from the heart when I tell you
that this is like a dream come true for me, playing for Manchester United. It
makes me feel really happy."
Sanchez,
who won two FA Cups during his time with Arsenal, insists he wants to win the
Premier League and Champions League at United and says he will be able to fit
into Jose Mourinho's side.
"I
believe that at this club it's possible to achieve anything," he said.
"The badge says it all, it's a huge club on a worldwide scale, and I want
to come here and win everything: the Premier League, the Champions League, and
whatever comes the club's way in the future.
"I'm
a player who likes to win everything. I'm very professional in everything I do.
I live for football. I love football. It's what I'm passionate about. I train
hard every day and after a game I try to look at what went well and where I can
improve.
"I
really like to play down the left, through the middle but to tell you the
truth, as long as I'm playing football, I'll fit in anywhere."
Sanchez
said the opportunity to work under United boss Mourinho was a major factor in
him deciding to move to Old Trafford.
"He
[Mourinho] indicated it is important for the club for me to be here. I also
believe that the club itself cared about me joining, and I got the impression
that they were keen for me to come here and wear the No 7 shirt.
"I think that also gets
through to the player. Players sometimes need to feel important and loved by
the club. That was one of the things that attracted me to come here, along with
the manager, who is a person who won everything in Italy, the same as he did in
Spain, and he's a manager who likes to win."
