After facing a lot of backlash for failing at Manchester United, new Inter Milan signing Alexis Sanchez has, in a recent interview, admitted that he never regretted joining Premier League giants Manchester United. He added that he did not get sufficient playing time to make a comeback at Manchester United.
“I am very happy I went to Manchester United,” Sanchez told BBC Sport
“I’ve always said that. It’s the club that has won the most in England,” he added.
“When I went to Arsenal it was fantastic – I was happy there – but United were growing at the time, they were buying players to win something. I wanted to join them and win everything. I do not regret going there,” he said.
The former Barcelona player netted as many as 80 goals in 166 matches for Arsenal in a time span of nearly four years. However, the Chilean International was not able to replicate his success with Arsenal.
“I think that I’m happy when I play for my national team,” Sanchez said.
“I was happy at Manchester United too, but I have always said to my friends – I want to play. If they would let me play I will do my best. Sometimes I would play 60 minutes then I would not play the next game – and I did not know why.”
“It always depended on the coach to let me play. You need to ask him this question, not me,” Sanchez concluded.
