Manchester United: Alexis Sanchez insists he will show he still has his ‘love of football’

The Chilean’s subtle improvement under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been halted by a knee injury

Manchester United‘s Alexis Sanchez has insisted that he is determined to “keep showing his love for football” in a bid to turnaround his lacklustre spell at the club.

Sanchez, who has been sidelined once again due to a knee injury, has mustered just five goals in 41 appearances since leaving Arsenal for Old Trafford.

The injury came at an unfortunate time, with the 30-year-old beginning to show short glimpses of improvement under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, however, the Chilean has reiterated his desire to prove his worth.

“I want to keep showing my love for football. I know what I can do. I have belief in my ability,” Sanchez told Inside United.

“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.

“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.

“When I was younger, I liked United. I swear. As a small child I liked United, I really liked them and I want to show this and bring the people joy because, obviously, I want to win.”
