United saw their last chance of silverware this season slip away after Arsenal's 2-1 win at Old Trafford on Monday.

But this afternoon a group of United players got over their disappointment with a trip to the races.

Summer signing Daley Blind got possibly his first taste of Ladies Day at the Gloucestshire meet.

The Holland ace looked in good spirits as he shared a joke with England internationals Michael Carrick, Ashley Young and Phil Jones.

Brazilian defender Rafael - linked with a summer move away from United - was also in the stands.

So too was banned centre-back Jonny Evans, who is serving a six-match ban for spitting at Newcastle's Papiss Cisse.

The United contingent reportedly arrived at Cheltenham via helicopter. Nice one lads...
