Sanchez desperate to impress
Chile striker Alexis Sanchez remains determined to prove his worth at Manchester United, having struggled to make an impact since joining from Arsenal.
The 30-year-old moved to Old Trafford just over a year ago, since when he has scored five goals in 37 appearances in all competitions.
I would like to have brought more joy to the club.

And the former Barcelona ace is eager to improve on that return and show the Red Devils just what he is capable of, starting against Chelsea in the fifth round of the FA Cup on Monday evening.
Sanchez told BBC Sport: "I'm a player that, if I'm not in contact with the ball, I lose that spark and sometimes I want to play in every game. You're in, you're out and I'm used to playing.
"It's not an excuse, because if I go on for 10, 20 minutes, I have to perform because that's what I'm here for, to make a difference.
"I would like to have brought more joy to the club. Yes it worries me, because I believe in my abilities as a player, I want to show it.
"I think I'm an experienced player and I think I know what I need to do and what I shouldn't do."
The game on Monday evening at Stamford Bridge is a repeat of the FA Cup final last season, which the Blues won 1-0 thanks to an Eden Hazard penalty.
Chelsea are 8/15 to reach the sixth round of the FA Cup, with United priced at 11/8, while the men from Manchester are 13/2 to go all the way and lift the trophy this season.
