Alexis Sanchez makes Champions League crown more realistic for Man Utd - Parlour

The former Arsenal star has seen the Chilean leave Emirates Stadium, and believes he could make the difference in a European quest at Old Trafford

Alexis Sanchez can be “the difference” for Manchester United in their efforts to claim the Champions League crown, says former Arsenal player Ray Parlour.

The Chilean has opened a new chapter in his career after taking the decision to leave the Gunners for Old Trafford, with his Red Devils bow made in an FA Cup win over Yeovil on Friday.

Parlour is among those disappointed to have seen a top talent slip the next at Emirates Stadium, however thinks the 29-year-old's quality could prove influential in Jose Mourinho’s quest to return European football’s biggest prize to Manchester.
