Manchester United fans unveil banner to welcome Alexis Sanchez and dogs Atom and Humber...but stewards remove it two minutes later

Manchester United looked to welcome Alexis Sanchez during his home debut with a banner for himself and his golden retrievers Atom and Humber - only for the Old Trafford stewards to have other ideas.

The banner was unveiled just after the interval and soon caused a stir among supporters and pundits on social media.

And within minutes of its unveiling, the banner was withdrawn by a steward, much to the delight of some embarrassed supporters.
