Many Manchester United players have jetted off for a well deserved holiday after beating Chelsea.
Jose Mourinho's men were guaranteed Monday and Tuesday off regardless of the result on Sunday afternoon, but the manager tacked an extra day on as a reward - and the players are making the most of it.
Nemanja Matic, a welcome addition to the world of Instagram, brilliantly 'revealed' the extra day in a post showing the contents of the note that he had received on the pitch from Mourinho via Eric Bailly.
And while the Serbia international is yet to reveal exactly how he is spending the time with his young family, his United teammates have been sharing photos from across Europe and the USA.
Jesse Lingard was one of three United players to turn up in Milan for some well-timed rest and relaxation.
The academy graduate is relaxing by the pool with his brother, while Anthony Martial has been taking in the sights in the same Italian city.
Martial has been spending time with his partner, Melanie, who flew to Milan alongside Matteo Darmian and his wife.
But Darmian has also been spotted shopping in Turin - sparking increased speculation about a long-rumoured move to Juventus this summer.
The Italy international has not featured in the Premier League since the Arsenal game in early December and is almost certain to depart at the end of the season.

Meanwhile, Paul Pogba appears to be using the time to brush up on his dancing skills. He has posted two videos for fans to enjoy and attempt to copy his slick moves.
Victor Lindelof has headed to Paris with his fiancee and has embraced the tourist lifestyle, complete with camera.
And after a standout performance against Chelsea that yielded a goal, assist and Man of the Match award, Romelu Lukaku rewarded himself with a trip to New York.
The Belgian took in a basketball game, revealing it was the first time he has ever watched NBA courtside as he took in the Brooklyn Nets' victory over the Chicago Bulls.
However, not all United's players have been able to leave the north west.
Some of the injured contingent are still receiving treatment as they look to return to action as soon as possible.
Marcos Rojo shared an image of him driving through Wilmslow before showing some treatment he is receiving on his lower leg.
The Argentine defender has missed the last three matches with an unspecified injury, alongside fellow centre back Phil Jones.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Daley Blind, Ander Herrera, and Marouane Fellaini are the other players currently sidelined.
Mourinho will hope the extra break before the next game against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Monday night provides the opportunity to get at least a few of those players back training.
Following the Palace fixture, United face Liverpool, host Sevilla in the second leg of the Champions League and then have a crucial FA Cup tie with Brighton to negotiate before the next international break.
The big Swedish defender has been in good form since his summer arrival at Old Trafford, and the 23-year-old decided to spend his time off by making the short trip to Paris.
Posting on his Instagram, Lindelof said: "Pretending to be a good tourist" as he posted a selfie with a large camera around his neck in the French capital.
