One of Aaron Boone’s top priorities when he became Yankees manager was to get to know Gary Sanchez, who was benched briefly by Joe Girardi last season.

Sanchez said he and Boone met Friday night, and the catcher indicated the meeting went well and is confident the two will have a strong working relationship — and he insisted he had no issues with Girardi.

“I always got along with Joe,” Sanchez said through an interpreter Saturday. “I appreciate everything Joe did for me.”

And he said he had gotten over the benching in August.

“I left that in the past,” Sanchez said after signing autographs at All Star Collectibles in Wayne, N.J. “I never took anything he did personally and knew he was trying to make me a better player.”

Sanchez is confident he’ll work well with Boone, who has never coached or managed.

And he’s looking forward to being in the same lineup with Giancarlo Stanton, whom he met at the All-Star Game in Miami in July.

“Now we have two animals in the lineup,” Sanchez said of Stanton and Aaron Judge. “Maybe two and a half [with me].”

Sanchez also thought a full season from Greg Bird, as well as the presence of Brett Gardner and Didi Gregorius would make the Yankees’ offense a force.

But he warned that there were no guarantees for a team that was one game away from the World Series.

“We can’t look too far ahead,” Sanchez said.
