The Chilean star has long been linked with a switch to Old Trafford and Sir Alex Ferguson is believed to have been following him since before he signed for Udinese in 2006.

And with the January transfer window set to open talk of a move to Old Trafford has once again surfaced, and Sánchez admits he would welcome the chance to try his hand in the Premier League.

The 22-year-old told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "I like English football because it is played at 100 miles an hour and they never stop – a bit like me.

"However, I have a contract at Udinese until 2015 and I'm really not thinking about the transfer market.

"I like to do my talking on the field of play. I look to my progress and I am pleased with the way I am maturing, even if I'm only at 40 percent of my potential.

"I know that I am responsible for what the future brings and I think I'm on the right path.

"It's nice to know that I am liked and I'd love to play for a big club, but another season with Udinese should be good for me because I still lack a final piece for the final leap.

"I hope to score 10 goals, so maybe I'll help Udinese to qualify for Europe. Also the Champions League is a possible achievement. And if we finish in the top four you can be sure that I won't move."
