ALEXIS SANCHEZ admits he has struggled to adapt to Jose Mourinho’s style.
Sanchez moved to Manchester United from Arsenal in the New Year but has hardly hit the ground running at his new club.
He put in another underwhelming performance on Saturday in the 1-0 FA Cup Final defeat to Chelsea.
And Sanchez said: “I think that in every game I’ve played in I’ve maybe found it hard to adapt to the style of play and I’ve been getting to know my team-mates.”
Mourinho has defended the Chilean saying how difficult it is to come into a team midway through a season.
He is not alone at United in failing to find his best form and according to Sanchez there needs to be improvement all round.
He said: “I believe we need to improve in all aspects.
“We need to be focused and concentrated in the big games and the same in the so-called lesser games too.

“That’s what the great sides do and I think United are a great side, so that’s what we need to do.
“Manchester United is a massive club that always aspires to win big trophies and that is what I’m trying to make happen.
“I want to try and keep improving so we can see the club winning trophies.”
Well, there were no trophies this season and the pressure will be on right from the start of the next campaign to get back in the winners circle.
After all that is where Sanchez expects to be, which is why he made the switch to Old Trafford.
He said: “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.
I also had some great players alongside me at Barcelona, some highly experienced guys who had great quality.
“I think that United are not too dissimilar as a club to them in their size and stature.
“However, we still have areas where we can improve.”
