Banner of Alexis Sánchez’s dogs unveiled by Man United fans was forcibly removed by stewards

The obsession with his dogs continues to grow.

Alexis Sánchez's dogs, Atom and Humber, have become the most famous pets in football as a result of their presence on Sánchez's social media accounts and this bizarre advert. When Sánchez was at Arsenal, the fans became enamoured with the pair of Golden Retrievers. So much so that they put up a banner in the stadium in homage to the dogs, labelling them 'good boys'. After the player's departure, the banner came down in what was an emotional moment for Gooners. Now at United, the fans in Manchester also appear to have taken a liking to Atom and Humber. During today's match against Huddersfield, they also unveiled a banner, welcoming the player and his pets to Manchester. https://twitter.com/TheSportsman/status/959822638364360705 A bit of light-hearted fun, most people would agree. Except the stewards at the ground did not find it amusing and promptly removed the banner after about half an hour. https://twitter.com/RobDawsonESPN/status/959821877937045504 It might be something to do with the fact that this weekend marks 60 years since the Munich air disaster and the banner was considered to be bad taste. It should be said that many fans disapprove of the banner, calling it cringeworthy. https://twitter.com/Fergie1975/status/959833439833870336 https://twitter.com/neal_sousbois/status/959828656733515781 https://twitter.com/PiarasL92/status/959826336767528960 https://twitter.com/charliebhoy72/status/959820068719767552 On the pitch, United were back to winning ways after an embarrassing defeat to Spurs midweek as they beat Huddersfield 2-0 thanks to goals from Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sánchez.
