The mural was created on the side of The Trafford pub

A mural in memory of Sir Bobby Charlton has been painted on the side of a pub near Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium.

The work by Graffiti Painters has been created on the outside wall of The Trafford pub.

The Red Devils legend, who made 758 appearances for the club, died at the age of 86 last month.

The portrait was painted over the mural of former United player Cristiano Ronaldo.

Posting on Instagram, Graffiti Painters said: "Yesterday I said my bye to this legend up in Manchester."

From 1958 to 1970 he played for England, and achieved 106 caps, a record-breaking 49 goals, the famous 1966 World Cup win, and a Ballon d'Or.
