Watching Gooners? Alexis on Man Utd: Very hard joining a BIG club

After helping Manchester United reach the FA Cup final, Alexis Sanchez admits he's battled to adjust to the demands of a "big club".

Alexis left Arsenal in January for United.

And despite winning the FA Cup twice with the Gunners, he appeared to subliminally hint that Arsenal are a small club.

"In truth it's been very hard for me, coming to a big club, it changed everything," Sanchez said after scoring in the 2-1 win over Tottenham.

"So today I'm really happy, for the team, the goal and for the attitude we showed throughout the game.

“It was a great pass from Paul Pogba, and when the ball was in the air I wanted to hit it to the near post.

"But then I saw the goalkeeper go the other way so I changed to the far post to catch him off balance."
