Manchester United produced arguably their most artistic display of attacking football under Jose Mourinho in the 4-0 home win over West Ham on Sunday.

And two days later they followed up one Old Trafford masterpiece with another as United's stars attended the unveiling of a new piece of artwork at the Theatre of Dreams.

United players were out in force as Paul Pogba, Chris Smalling, Michael Carrick, Victor Lindelof and Jesse Lingard all attended the art launch, which was put on by the club's sponsors TAG Heuer.

Pogba, Smalling and Lingard in particular looked to be enjoying themselves as the trio posed in red bandanas in front of the artwork with TAG Heuer CEO Jean-Claude Biver. 


The mural was produced by graffiti artist Alec Monopoly, who is a brand ambassador for TAG Heuer and is known for his depictions of his namesake the Monopoly Man from the board game.

And United players tried their hand at imitating Monopoly, by tagging some United shirts with a can of spray paint.

United are currently top of the table following their dominant display against West Ham, which saw Romelu Lukaku net his first two league goals for the Red Devils with Pogba and substitute Anthony Martial also on the scoresheet.

Lindelof was left out of the matchday squad as Mourinho attempts to keep the defender away from the spotlight after he struggled during pre-season. 

Mourinho could take a similar approach with Lindelof to his handling of Henrikh Mkhitaryan last campaign, who he didn't start for nearly three months after substituting him in the Manchester derby.  

United's next match is a trip to Wales to face Paul Clement's Swansea in the Premier League on Saturday.
