Sanchez vows to turn his stuttering career around

- By RICHARD FAY

ALEXIS Sanchez has pledged to ‘bring joy’ to United fans and revealed his dreams of winning a trophy with the club.

The Chile internatio­nal has struggled to find any consistenc­y at Old Trafford since his move from Arsenal a year ago and has failed to live up to the hype which surrounded his high-profile transfer.

However, despite his struggles on the pitch this hasn’t deterred the 30-year-old from insisting that he can turn around his fortunes at United.

Sanchez has thanked fans for their continued support at the club and believes that bringing them a trophy to celebrate would be the perfect way of repaying them. “Obviously, I want to make the United fans really happy,” Sanchez told Inside United. ”I want to score goals. I want to bring them joy. “I want to win silverware. “When we lost last year’s FA Cup final to Chelsea, I was not happy. Not happy at all. In fact, I was sad because I just wanted to make our wonderful supporters happy.

“I saw the fans who had come to pack out Wembley Stadium.

“They were all around me - all red. I liked it. Wembley was all red.

“I want to keep showing my love for football.

“I know what I can do. I have belief in my ability. United are such an important club, not only in England but on a global level, and I would love to help bring a trophy to the supporters.”
