Fury, 33, has had a whale of a time since finally seeing off the Bronze Bomber for good.
He has done his fair share of partying - including an eight-hour drinking session with coach Andy Lee and two Manchester party girls - enjoying his status as heavyweight champion of the world.
But the Manchester United fan's dream few weeks came to a shuddering halt at Old Trafford on Saturday.
Eric Bailly's own-goal and Bernardo Silva's strike saw before half-time saw City walk away with all three points.
But there was a silver-lining of sorts for Fury as he got to meet famous United faces Pogba and Evra.
The boxer uploaded the snap to Instagram and wrote: "Afternoon with the lads @paulpogba @patricevra @manchesterunited #FranceFR."
