Manchester United have 'more history' than Arsenal - Alexis Sanchez

  /  autty

Alexis Sanchez has suggested Manchester United have 'more history' than Arsenal ahead of facing them at the weekend.

The Chilean made a dramatic switch from north London to United in the January transfer window after refusing to sign a new contract at Arsenal, with his deal running out in the summer.

And, after some initial struggles, he is finally settling at United, impressing in his side's FA Cup semi-final victory against Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend.

But Sanchez has admitted he is still struggling to adapt to some of the differences between the two teams.

'It is very different here,' Alexis told MUTV. 'I think United is a club with more history and we want to win trophies next year.

'We need to keep progressing; United is a big club, to which I am still adapting, and I am looking forward to giving everything I've got next year and aiming to win everything there is to win.'

The 29-year-old is also already looking forward to United's return to Wembley for the FA Cup final in May.

'The truth is that I score every time I play at Wembley!' he added. 'I have won several trophies there with my national team and with Arsenal. With Chile, I also scored two goals and that means a lot to me. Wembley brings me good luck.

'We are very happy to have reached the final. I think Saturday's match was the most perfect one since I joined United, and that makes me very happy for what lies ahead.'

United face Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
