Manchester United star Jesse Lingard sends welcome tweet to Alexis Sanchez

Manchester United star Jesse Lingard has welcomed new signing Alexis Sanchez to the club via Twitter.

The Chile international secured a switch to Old Trafford from Arsenal on Monday evening as part of a swap deal that resulted in Henrikh Mkhitaryan signing for the Gunners.

United stars have been sending warm welcomes to the 29-year-old on social media, and one of those came from Lingard, who posted a photo of himself appearing to call his new teammate, and added the caption: "Hello, Is That @Alexis_Sanchez ? Welcome To @ManUtd. I Knew You Wanted To Come Milly Rock With The Mandem #manchesterunited #JLingz."
