Manchester United stars Phil Jones and Ashley Young strike it lucky in ten-pin bowling competition

MANCHESTER UNITED stars Phil Jones and Ashley Young faced off against team-mates Sergio Romero and Matteo Darmian in a bowling challenge.

The four Premier League players had to wear blindfolds, bowl through their legs and attempt a towel trick-shot.

Swissquote, the club's Official Global Forex and Online Financial Trading Partner, organised and sponsored the event.

The four Red's players swapped their boots for bowling shoes - but some of them were certainly better than others.

Ashley Young and Phil Jones collected the prestigious golden trophy at the end to cap off a catalogue of strikes for the pair.

Jose Mourinho has allowed these four players a break before the Reds host Everton on Sunday.

The video emerged following Manchester United's blistering 3-0 Champions League group stage victory against FC Basel on Tuesday.

Mourinho's side have kicked-off the new campaign in sublime style, and have already been dubbed early favourites to secure the silverware.
