Paul Pogba seems to have had no problems settling into life as a Manchester United player again - and he continued to get to know his new team-mates by dining out with fellow summer signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

Pogba sealed his world record £100million return to the Old Trafford this week and is preparing for the club's Premier League opener at Bournemouth on Sunday.

The France star, who is staying at the Lowry Hotel in Manchester before he finds permanent accommodation, opted to dine out at a Brazilian steakhouse with his fellow new arrival.

You show a green card if you want the waiters to continue offering meat to you and a red card if you no longer want any more. Pogba would have paid £25.95 for the service on Thursday night.

And close behind the players was Pogba's mum, who has a very close relationship with the former Juventus midfielder.

The two United players were later pictured leaving in their private taxi after enjoying a meal at the eatery.

Bem Brasil restaurant in Deansgate is just a five-minute walk away from The Lowry Hotel, where Pogba will be staying for the time being.

Perhaps the pair were plotting how they will frighten Premier League defences this season when the new campaign gets underway this weekend.

Jose Mourinho, the United manager, is adamant that the capture of Pogba restores balance to the club's options in central midfield.

Pogba's return to Old Trafford, after leaving the club for Juventus in 2012, has added an extra X-factor to United ahead of this season.

Speaking about what Pogba's arrival brings to his squad, Mourinho was clear it filled a role that he felt was missing.

The 23-year-old signed a five-year deal on Tuesday to re-join the club he left in 2012

'We have [Michael] Carrick - a 35-year-old man who is stable and intelligent,' he told BT Sport exclusively. 'He plays in front of the defenders which gives us all the stability and is tactially very intelligent.

'We have people like [Morgan] Schneiderlin and [Ander] Herrera also - players with experience in the Premier League but after that we have No 10s. We have [Juan] Mata, possibly [Wayne] Rooney and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

'We don't have what I used to call the second midfield player. The one that is strong enough, powerful enough, has defensive intensity but at the same time has creativity and goals ability to drive the midfield forwards.

'We have passers, we don't have runners with the ball. So it's a profile of a player that we found.'
