Alexis Sanchez says he is still adapting to Manchester United, admitting it is "very different" at the club after moving from Arsenal in January.

Sanchez has scored three goals in 14 appearances for United, with Jose Mourinho's side fighting for second place in the Premier League.

The 29-year-old is fully focused on delivering success to the club next year in his first full season, but admitted he is still adapting to his surroundings.

"It is very different here," Sanchez told MUTV. "I think United is a club with more history and we want to win trophies next year.

"We need to keep progressing; United is a big club, to which I am still adapting, and I am looking forward to giving everything I've got next year and aiming to win everything there is to win."

Sanchez impressed on Saturday in United's 2-1 victory over Tottenham in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley, scoring a vital equaliser in the first half.
