Manchester United new boy Alexis Sanchez receives welcome message from Jesse Lingard: 'Knew you wanted to come Milly Rock with the mandem'

Jesse Lingard shared a joke with new Manchester United team-mate Alexis Sanchez shortly after the Chile star's Old Trafford arrival was confirmed.

The duo will be competing for a first-team spot under Jose Mourinho but Lingard reached out to his new colleague by welcoming him to the Red Devils.

Lingard, who is known to be the joker of the Old Trafford dressing room, said Sanchez couldn't resist his offer of performing his 'Milly Rock' celebration with the mandem (lads).
