The striker swapped Arsenal for Old Trafford in January, but has flopped in his first few games for his new club.
He has scored just one goal in 10 games since he joined the Red Devils, with Henrikh Mkhitaryan heading the other way.
His poor form was brought to the fore last weekend when Sanchez was dropped to the bench for United's FA Cup win against Brighton.
Speaking from his Chile team's base in Sweden, the 29-year-old said: "As I am self-demanding, I expected something better.
"After my arrival at United, it was hard to change everything very quickly. I even hesitated to come here [to Sweden, with the national team]
"I had asked permission to miss these games, but then I thought better and spoke with Claudio [Bravo] and told him that we should all be united.
"The change of club was something that was very abrupt - it was the first time I’ve changed clubs in January - but many things have happened in my life that are difficult."
The Chilean superstar is earning £505k-a-week wages at Old Trafford but has failed to make an impact on the field.
And the Daily Mail claims Sanchez is an isolated figure at United - often seen eating alone in the canteen.
A club source is reported as saying: "He looks like someone who doesn't want to be here.
"The whole thing doesn't seem right and he looks like a lost boy. It was the same with Di Maria."
Di Maria joined United for a British record £59.7million fee in 2014 but failed to adapt to life at Old Trafford.
And the Argie ace quit for Paris Saint-Germain in a cut-price £44m deal the following year.
