Manchester United’s signing of Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal was undoubtedly one of the biggest footballing news on Monday.
After the Red Devils officially announced the Chilean in what is being described as one of the best unveiling videos, a lot of congratulatory messages started pouring in. And one of the first persons to tweet out was Sanchez’s new teammate Jesse Lingard.
Jesse Lingard or JLingz as he is affectionately called posted a photo on Instagram with the caption: “Hello, Is That @alexis_officia1?? Welcome To @manchesterunited ? I Knew You Wanted To Come Milly Rock With The Mandem”
Now Lingard was obviously referring to the famous dance that he did infront of the Emirates crowd after he scored against Arsenal a couple of weeks back.
Not everyone took the Instagram post in good spirits though.
Famous Arsenal fan and television personality Piers Morgan decided to take a big at Lingard by tweeting: “He’s taking your place sunshine, enjoy the bench.”

And then Lingard replied: “YO PIERS YOU WANNA COME OUT HERE”
“ YO PIERS YOU WANNA COME OUT HERE” 😂🕺🏼
