MANCHESTER UNITED supporters believe Paul Pogba's chance meeting with Lionel Messi could tempt him with a move to Barcelona.
The Frenchman was dining at Salt Bae's plush steak house in Dubai when he bumped into the Argentinean magician.
Pogba, sporting a white bandanna, was seen locked in conversation with Messi as talk over the Frenchman's future continues to hot up.
His bad relationship with Jose Mourinho has sparked rumours that the Catalan giants are readying a January offer and United would be willing to accept should they receive £200million for his signature.
And United fans think it could be an increasing possibility after he and Messi appeared to get on like a house on fire in the Arab country.
