United they stand: The squad pose on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of ArtManchester United's star players paid homage to a piece of film history on their summer tour of the United States.
The United squad posed at the entrance of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, known as the 'Rocky Steps' as a result of their appearance in the memorable Oscar winning film and four of its sequels.
The players looked to be in good spirits in Philadelphia, with Portuguese star Nani obviously a big fan of the film as he tried to recreate Rocky's famous pose. He also received what can only be described as a low blow from goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar.
The original film Rocky captured the hearts of millions. It told the rags to riches story of Rocky Balboa, a club fighter who is given a chance of winning the world heavyweight championship
Famous pose: Nani raises his fists in the air like RockyUnited started their American tour with victory over Celtic in Toronto last week, and next face Philadelphia Union on Wednesday.
They are preparing to make their 20th successive serious challenge to win the league title, and want to go further than their quarter-final Champions League appearance against Bayern Munich last term.
