Alexis Sanchez

As a fast player, I want to receive the ball facing the opposition goal, which gives me more vision.

My father, who is now in Heaven, was a supporter of La U, and I think the truth is that a lot of my family would like me to end up there. My dad was the pillar of the family, and sometimes people do things for their family as well.

Being the best-paid in the Premier League fills me with pride at being Chilean.

The more pressure I'm under, the better I feel.

I am a player that takes great care of myself.

I had a breakthrough in my football life. Now I switch to the left. I make goals. I pass. I am evolving.

I have reached a level where I can compete with great players. I do not feel inferior to anybody.

I just try to be happy playing my football.

I still think I'm playing back home in the street in my town with my mates. That's why I love the game, and mostly, I don't pay too much attention to social media or look at stuff that's out there.

My dream was always to be a footballer and help my family.

Manchester United are a huge club on the global stage. I came here to win everything. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here.

I left Arsenal because I wanted to develop and learn as a player and get to experience a new club.

There are lots of big clubs, and having played for Arsenal, they are also one of them. It's a huge club, and I was there.

I think that Manchester United, since I was young - and I'm not just saying this because I'm here; I'm an honest guy, and I never lie - I think it's the biggest club in England. That's what I think.

I am very proud to be the first Chilean player ever to play for United's first team, and I hope I can show our fans all around the world why the club wanted to bring me here.

I have spent three and a half wonderful years at Arsenal, and I bring with me very positive memories of that great club and its fans.

I always said the same: I try to do my best, to support the team, to score goals, to win victories.

I like to go to London to eat something or have a drink with my friends. However, I am a very home-loving person, and I spend a lot of time at home.

In general, I like to always be in contact with the ball.

My idea is to play and win the Champions League. It is a dream I have had since I was little.

I believe that United really is a very big club on a worldwide scale and even more so in England, where it's the biggest. They always want to win and to be fighting on all fronts, and that's the reason I wanted to come here.

Ever since I started watching Premier League, I found English football very appealing.

When I played for Barcelona, I knew that some home games were going to be easier than some others, as the team had plenty of confidence. That confident mentality helped Barcelona players win games.

I always say that mentality is a crucial aspect in a football environment.

If a footballer goes on the pitch with the right mentality, he will perform well.

I'd like to play in English football, especially for Manchester United.

I feel like an important player at world level.

I try to prove that I am an important player every day and game after game.

Football players have always got a problem, some pain, and in some games, I have had small problems with my knee or some pain, and I played anyway, but people don't know if I have a problem or not. People just know if you score a goal or if you play badly, but they never know if you are well or not.

I always like to play. It is useful for me; I know how to regulate myself.

When I am very tired, I know when I have to go in hard or slow down. It helps me to play better in the next match.

Sometimes, when I am not playing in a game, it leaves me feeling very tired when I play in the next one. It is like I haven't trained for a month.

Arsene Wenger is different. He's a purist. He's a professor of football. A professor.

I believe that having a family in the dressing room is very important when it comes to winning trophies.

I'm a professional, so any match against Barcelona in the Champions League is special to me.

I never regret my decisions.

I think that if a player wants to be at the very top, he needs to win the Champions League and league titles. That's what makes the great players truly great.

As a footballer, everything you've achieved can easily be lost, and then you are nobody. That's just how life is, and that's why you shouldn't let things get you down. That's the reason I treat every match like a final.

In my case, my life has changed and improved because different things have motivated me. For example, in the beginning, my motivation was to help my family. Later on, my motivation was to be the best.

If a footballer is well motivated and has various things to motivate him every day, he will keep achieving his goals.

Looking at everything I've done in my career as a footballer, at all the titles, I believe that what's hugely important is motivation.

I played in Spain, and we also had a very good dressing room, and I won a lot of things. So I think that in my experience of being in dressing rooms, it's so important to have a really good group.

I think it was a good choice to go to Arsenal, the best choice. It has been a positive move, and I love it at Arsenal.

Players sometimes need to feel important and loved by the club.

I've learnt so much from playing football: I love football, and that's what I do. I enjoy myself, and I'm just trying to be happy.

I can't be happy with drawing or losing a match. It actually makes me really sad when that happens.

You play one game after another, meet new people every day, and travel a lot. That is why I try to disconnect and relax as soon as I get some time off.

I don't care if I play on the wing or in the middle. There is no difference.

I've learnt so much over time and with the experience that I've gained. You can't please everyone.

I always said as a kid that I'd like to play for United, and I once spoke to Sir Alex Ferguson about it. We chatted for around 20 minutes, and I told him that my dream was to come here to Manchester United.
