Jesse Lingard has taken over Manchester United's Instagram story for the day and unsurprisingly, the 25-year-old is already causing mayhem with his antics.

With Alexis Sanchez rumoured to be in Manchester ahead of a move, according to Di Marzio, the joker Lingard has teased millions of fans about the signing.

As you can see in the clip below, 'Jlingz' pretends to shake hands with a new signing but to the disappointment of many, he captioned the video "only joking"

Lingard didn't reference Sanchez's name in the clip, but it's obvious that the England international is reacting to the rumours of a possible switch.

Plenty of hints have been dropped in recent days, including the moment an Adidas Store in London, Oxford Street, printed out their first 'Alexis 7' Manchester United shirt.

Two days ago, The Express tried to ask staff at the Manchester United club store whether they could order a United shirt with Alexis on the back, but they rejected the request.

But today, Twitter user @BossAmerM was pictured with an 'Alexis 7' shirt in the Adidas store as rumours of a move intensify.

Manchester United will reportedly hand Sanchez the number seven shirt, with the Chilean becoming the highest paid Premier League player if he decides to join Jose Mourinho in the January transfer window.

Sky Sports report that Jose Mourinho's side are offering Sanchez over £350,000 a-week to become a Manchester United player as rumours swirl over a potential move.

What could have been at Arsenal...


The report states that United are confident that they have the right package to persuade Arsenal to sell as the 29-year-old prepares to eclipse Paul Pogba's current wage of £290,000 a-week.

Is he worth the money?
