Our exclusive conversation with the passionate Chilean took place just before he was injured against Southampton and that blow will have hit the no.7 hard. But his determination to reward our supporters with match-winning performances and trophy successes still burns brightly.
“Obviously, I want to make the United fans really happy,” Alexis explains during his colourful interview with Inside United. “I want to score goals. I want to bring them joy. I want to win silverware.
“When we lost last year’s FA Cup final to Chelsea, I was not happy. Not happy at all. In fact, I was sad because I just wanted to make our wonderful supporters happy. I saw the fans who had come to pack out Wembley Stadium. They were all around me – all red. I liked it. Wembley was all red.”
Expanding on his wish to win trophies for our supporters, Alexis continues: “The goal there [at Wembley] against Tottenham comes to mind. It was such a great moment because the United fans were right on top of us and it was a lovely moment to be able to celebrate along with them.
“When I was younger, I liked United. I swear. As a small child, I liked United. I really liked them. And I want to show this and bring the people joy because, obviously, I want to win.”
In a pledge to the United fans, he says: “I want to keep showing my love for football. I know what I can do. I have belief in my ability. United are such an important club, not only in England but on a global level, and I would love to help bring a trophy to the supporters.”
