Alamofire.download("https://httpbin.org/image/png").responseData { response in
    if let data = response.result.value {
        let image = UIImage(data: data)
        self.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.init(patternImage: UIImage.init(CGImage: image.CGImage!))

    }
}

Directly you can't set image to UIView. First you need to set image to ImageView and add that ImageView as addSubView to UIView. If you want to load image asynchronously(for better performance), you can use Alamofire's code like below.

Alamofire.download("https://httpbin.org/image/png").responseData { response in
   if let data = response.result.value {
      let image = UIImage(data: data)
   }
}
