With their public platforms and big pay packets sports stars are rarely lacking when it comes to grand Halloween displays – and this year is no different.

Players past and present have donned their festive attire, wowing fans with pristine, and often elaborate, recreations of some of TV and films most recognisable characters.

Manchester United stars Casemiro and Alejandro Garnacho have unburdened themselves of last weekend’s humiliating derby day defeat to Manchester City by wearing the outfits of iconic superheroes alongside their respective families.

The veteran Brazilian midfielder, who has been sidelined through with injury, took the chance to live out the dream of many a child and appeared as Batman. His wife, Anna Mariana, appropriately opted for a red devil.

United youngster Garnacho and partner Eva Garcia meanwhile, celebrated their first Halloween following the birth of their son by going as The Incredibles.

The couple couldn’t turn down the chance to share a cute picture alongside their two dogs, Burrows and Freko. However, it wasn’t just a family affair for the 19-year-old who posed with his United team-mate Facundo Pellistri, who was impeccably dressed as Sam Raimi’s Spiderman.
