There’s a chance Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic just happened to be in the same Los Angeles restaurant at the same time and only one table was free.
There’s a chance.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Manchester United transfer target Paul Pogba were both spotted at a swank L.A eatery last night, sparking a flurry of fevered speculation about an imminent return to Old Trafford for the Frenchman.
Both players are enjoying some down-time in the United States, after Euro 2016, and have, for the most part, been left to themselves.
That all changed when chef Bobby Chin, a big Liverpool fan, looked to get some selfie snaps to show his young son.

Chin posted a series of Instagram snaps of Pogba, and Ibrahimovic, who was announced as a United signing in early July. Accompanying one post, he wrote:
‘Here they are in #losangeles eating in a swank restaurant TOGETHER, with their families. I heavily doubt they met to talk about #ronaldo, or maybe they did!
‘As a #lfc supporter, which I confessed to both of them, I’d love to see them both at #mufc, it only makes the #premierleague an even greater spectacle, especially with #cfc signing #conte #mcfc signing #guardiola will make it an even more exciting season.’
He definitely hit his hashtag quota there.

Chin, moonlighting as an intrepid reporter, asked Pogba if he was joining United but the 23-year-old was giving little away.
However, the fact that one of United’s summer signings was spotted dining with a player heavily linked with the club will surely fuel transfer speculation.
Though the pair share the same agent, Mino Raiola, so maybe it was just Team Mino drinks night out. In Las Angeles.
No word on what either man ordered… unfortunately.
