Manchester United star, Alexis Sanchez has finally revealed why he has been struggling at the club.

Sanchez has managed one goal and two assists in eight starts since moving from Arsenal in January to Old Trafford.

The Chilean international has opened up on the troubles he is having with adapting to life under manager, Jose Mourinho.

The forward has admitted that he expected ‘something better’ as well as that everything has come at him so fast that he even wanted to miss international duty.

“As I am self-demanding, I expected something better,” Sanchez told Daily Mail, UK.

“After my arrival at United, it was hard to change everything very quickly. I even hesitated to come here [to Sweden, with the national team].

“I had asked permission to miss these games, but then I thought better and spoke with Claudio [Bravo] and told him that we should all be united.”

“The change of club was something that was very abrupt – it was the first time I’ve changed clubs in January – but many things have happened in my life that are difficult,” he added.

Sanchez will be hoping that he comes back from the international break on form to face Swansea before a big test against Manchester City in the Premier League.
