Motherwell mock Manchester United's Alexis Sanchez unveiling by re-enacting video with new boy Pete Hartley: 'Are we doing this right?'

Motherwell have given Manchester United a run for their money after mocking their Alexis Sanchez announcement with the signing of Pete Hartley from Blackpool.

United confirmed the arrival of Sanchez from Arsenal on Monday - in a deal that saw him become the Premier League's highest paid player - and accompanied his arrival with a video, which Motherwell have brilliantly recreated.

Motherwell interpreted United's long-awaited signing rather differently, as Hartley, who has joined the SPL side on a permanent deal which will run until 2020 after a successful loan spell last season, re-enacted the video, starting with the piano.

In the United video, Sanchez puts on his United kit to the light music coming from a piano played by himself before walking onto the Old Trafford pitch to breathe in the air which he will now call home.

The 29-year-old Hartley, however, recited a jingle of his own as he played a miniature piano - incredibly badly - which was overshadowed by his cursing, as he shouted 'f***' after hitting the wrong key. 

'Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats. Introducing #Pete6 #SIWY #MFC ... Are we doing this right, @ManUtd?' Motherwell joked on their official Twitter account.

Sanchez will wear the No 7 shirt at United, Hartley the No 6 at Motherwell, but like the Chilean he opted for the more obscure first name on the back of his shirt which is becoming more and more popular in the modern game.

As he enters the dressing room he will share with his new team-mates, the defender throws on his shirt with 'Pete' printed on the back, before entering Motherwell's Fir Park. And in typically Scottish fashion, it was raining.

Hartley would later go on to smash his instrument on the floor, before greeting his new fans with a wink.
