Alexis: I want to make Man Utd supporters happy

Alexis Sanchez insists he wants to please Manchester United supporters.

The Chilean has endured an inconsistent spell at Old Trafford since joining from Arsenal last January.

Currently signed with knee ligament damage, 30-year-old Sanchez hopes he can return and win over the United faithful.

He told Inside United: "Obviously, I want to make the United fans really happy.

"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."
