Video: Manchester United players compete in aeroplane art contest; Ashley Young’s effort is terrible

Some footballers are artists, others... less so.

Some footballers are artists, others… less so.

Manchester United had an art competition among nine of their squad in conjunction with their official airline sponsor, Aeroflot.

Players such as Angel Di Maria, Ander Herrera, Anderson and Michael Carrick all had to paint a picture of an Aeroflot plane and the winner would be decided by the appointed judge, in this case, Darren Fletcher.

Some of the efforts were of, at best, kindergarten level and that’s being generous. We don’t purport to be wonderful artists here in JOE, but we know the difference between a shark and a plane…

We are delighted to report that no Manchester United players were injured in the making of this video.
