Paul Pogba toasts record £109m move with Chinese takeaway from famous Wing’s
Onlookers stare as suited and booted restaurant owner Mr Wing makes personal delivery to world's most costliest player
PAUL POGBA celebrated his £109million move back to Old Trafford with a Chinese takeaway.
The hungry ex-Juventus midfielder obviously turned to one of his old haunts and called up Wings restaurant.
It's not clear if Wings owner, Mr Wing, delivered his meal personally during Pogba's previous spell at Old Trafford - but he did on Monday night.
Onlookers stared as a suited and booted Mr Wing made his way to the Lowry Hotel, where Pogba checked in after formerly completing his world record move.
Wings was also former Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal's favourite restaurant during his time in England and Pogba was spotted there back in December as speculation that he would return to the Premier League began to increase.
Football's worst kept secret was finally confirmed the transfer at 12.45am on Tuesday morning, with United fans baffled as to why the news was buried in the middle of the night.
Pogba joins Eric Bailly, Henrikh Mkhiraryan and Zlatan Ibrahimovic as summer signings at Old Trafford as new manager Jose Mourinho continues his summer revamp of the United squad.
Pogba said he was 'delighted' after signing a five-year deal to rejoin the club he left in 2012.
