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).

Jesse Lingard joked that Alexis Sanchez wanted to Milly Rock with the United players

Lingard performed the Milly Rock at the Emirates Stadium with his United team-mates

He wrote on Instagram: 'Hello, is that Alexis Sanchez? Welcome to Manchester United. I knew you wanted to come Milly Rock with the mandem.'

The Warrington-born winger showed off his 'Milly Rock' dance moves, which became famous in the States last year, after scoring in Manchester United's 3-1 win over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in December.

Sanchez will have the chance to celebrate with Lingard on Friday if the attacking duo feature against Yeovil Town in the FA Cup.

United's new signing is expected to make his debut at Huish Park after his prolonged move to Old Trafford was finally completed on Monday.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan moved in the opposite direction as part of the January deal.
