What Manchester United Number 7 Jersey Means To Me’- Alexis Sanchez

Manchester United striker, Alexis
Sanchez, has revealed what the club
number 7 jersey means to him.
The Chilean international was handed the
iconic number seven shirt on Monday night,
after the long-anticipated swap deal that
saw Henrikh Mkhitaryan head in the
opposite direction was completed, bringing
to a conclusion one of the biggest transfer
stories of the January window.
Sanchez said wearing the number 7 jersey
for United makes him dreaming of lifting
the UEFA Champions League and the
Premier league.
Sanchez told MUTV: “When they told me
that Cristiano [Ronaldo], [Eric] Cantona,
David Beckham had all worn it, just
thinking about that number seven sets you
off dreaming in your head with ideas about
lifting the Champions League trophy and
winning the Premier League title,” he said.
“So yes, I’m fulfilling a dream and I hope to
give my very best and win many trophies at
this club.”
Sanchez was previously heavily linked with
a move to United’s rivals, Manchester City,
managed by former Barcelona boss, Pep
Guardiola.
City ultimately ended their interest in the
forward, but Sanchez hopes to recreate the
dressing-room atmosphere from his time in
Catalonia as he bids to bring success back
to United.
“I believe that having a family in the
dressing room is very important when it
comes to winning trophies,” he explained.
“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 also think that the club always needs to
be strengthening and bringing players in,
and in this instance that’s why I’m here, to
work hard for the team, and to try and win
everything with them.”
