Alexis Sanchez says he joined Manchester United in order to win all available trophies, describing the club as the biggest club in England. In an exclusive interview with Sky Sports' Thierry Henry, Sanchez said he has realised just how big United are since joining from Arsenal in January.


According to him;


"I came here to win [things]. I left Arsenal because I wanted to develop and learn as a player, and get to experience a new club. Manchester United are a huge club on the global stage. I came here to win everything. Otherwise I wouldn't have come here.


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. 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.


But coming here, looking at the badge, I think United have to win everything because it's such a big club. The club crest says it all."


Sanchez moved to United from Arsenal in a swap deal involving Henrikh Mkhitaryan, though Premier League leaders Manchester City were also interested in the Chilean.
