With their public platforms and big pay packages, sports stars are rarely lacking when it comes to putting on epic Halloween performances – and this year is no exception.

Players past and present donned their carnival costumes, wowing fans with pristine and often intricate recreations of some of the most recognizable characters from television and film.

Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho took the burden off last weekend’s humiliating derby defeat to Manchester City by dressing up as iconic superheroes alongside their families.

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

The couple couldn’t refuse the opportunity to share a cute photo with their two dogs Burrows and Freko. However, it wasn’t just a family affair for the 19-year-old who posed for pictures with United team-mate Facundo Pellistri, who was dressed to perfection as Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man.
