The 31-year-old is well-known for his love of animals and Atom and Humber are already online stars with their own Instagram page.

The Chilean showed off his new buys with a touching photo of him with his arms round them on his Instagram story which also featured footage of him playing in the snow with his older pets and teasing them at football with a tennis ball.

He picked British singer James Blunt’s hit song You’re Beautiful as the backing track to the footage of him with Atom and Humber.

Earlier he confirmed the pet pups were his by presenting them to the world on his other dogs’ Instagram with a message saying:” Atom and Humber’s new brothers.”

The Spanish-language message continued: “Adopted with fleas and all…then they went for a bath and their vaccinations.”

He also posted a video, this time set to music including the Phil Collins hit Another Day in Paradise, showing him picking out the two new additions to his family from an excitable litter of six.

The reports about his new romance with Sadler began shortly after eagled-eyed fans picked up on a 22nd birthday picture she posted showing her with the Golden Retrievers.

She confirmed she was on lockdown with Sanchez with other photos which clearly showed she was at his mansion.

Over the weekend the woman identified as his new romance faced new calls to post a picture of her with Sanchez after she uploaded a new selfie looking stunning in a white bikini.

One fan said: “You’re very pretty and this picture is taken at Alexis’ house which I think is great.

Sanchez named Atom after one of the characters in 2011 American science-fiction sports film Real Steel and his other pooch after his brother.

He told Arsenal.com when he was still at the London club before signing for United: “Atom the robot is very old and apparently useless but when he starts fighting he beats the best robots in the world.

“I like the movie so much that I thought I would call my first dog Atom.

“My other dog Humber reminds me of my brother Humberto. My brother is a very sweet guy, just like Humber is.”

Brazilian-born ex-lover Michelle Carvalho, says she gifted Humber to Sanchez years ago.

Sanchez is due to return to Old Trafford this summer after his loan spell with Inter comes to an end.

It is not yet clear if he will remain with the Red Devils, with conflicting reports over the past few weeks linking him with moves away.

David Beckham’s Inter Miami were even mentioned after after it was reported Sanchez purchased a beachside apartment near Miami.
