Herrera: "Sanchez will have an excellent 2019"

Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera is waiting for Alexis Sanchez to produce his best again in 2019 after a difficult first year at Old Trafford. Sanchez joins United almost exactly one year ago, when he left Arsenal on January 22, 2018, under a contract providing that Henrikh Mkhitaryan turned around. The exchange was probably the biggest deal of the previous January transfer windowleading to many debates about which club had the best market share.

however, no player has impressed in the last 12 months – Sanchez scoring only three times in 23 Premier League appearances for United while undergoing a series of injury problems. But with United playing with a lot more creative freedom and intention to attack Under the acting boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Herrera supports Sanchez for to have an impact in the second half of the campaign.

Before Friday's FA Cup clash with the former Sanchez Arsenal club, Herrera told MUTV: "He [Sanchez] is incredible for them [Arsenal]. He was the best player for them every season he was there, so I think Arsenal the fans will receive it in a good way, because it's been fantastic for them. "

Herrera agrees finish in the first four in the league is still the main target, but insists that United will do everything to bring the FA Cup Back to Old Trafford.

"Of course, the Premier League is the main goal for everyone " he said. "But it's really good to win a trophy and I think Manchester United always fight for titles and for trophies. "

"We will not spoil this competition – no luck. We have many expectations, we are out of the EFL Cup, so the FA Cup is the only English competition apart from which we are involved, so we go with everything. We still think that our main goal is the league, of course, but Manchester United talks about trophiesit's about titles, so we're not going to throw it away. "
