Manchester United star Paul Pogba gets his Italian takeaway delivered to his car while glum flop Memphis Depay meets pals for lunch


IT was a tale of two Manchester United footballers today, as a relaxed Paul Pogba got some takeaway while wantaway Memphis Depay looked glum.

Frenchman Pogba had a difficult beginning to life at Old Trafford, but has hit a rich vein of form recently as United’s results improved.

And driving an Audi to Piccolino Restaurant in the Manchester suburb of Hale, he sent one of his mates in to get takeaway while he poked his head out of the drivers’ seat.

He was chatting to the waitress, who clutched some money in her hand – presumably the French international or his pal paying her.

Meanwhile, across town, outcast Dutchman Memphis Depay, with his much flashier £250,000 Rolls Royce and all-beige attire, looked extremely glum as he went about his business.

The £25m signing from PSV has been promised he will play by boss Jose Mourinho if he chooses to remain at Old Trafford this January.

But he looked a million miles away as he plots his next move which is surely away from Manchester.

He has been subject of loan interest from Everton, Nice and AC Milan, but the Red Devils are only willing to let him leave permanently.

Mourinho’s announcement comes as a shock after Depay was left out of the United squad for their FA Cup match against Reading.

The Red Devils easily brushed aside their Championship opponents with a 4-0 win which saw Wayne Rooney equal Bobby Charlton’s all-time United goal record with his 249th strike for the club.
