On Wednesday, Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea treated his teammates to dinner at Juan Mata's restaurant, following their Carabao Cup win over Rochdale.

The meal was organized to boost morale ahead of their Premier League clash with Arsenal on Monday.

However, a number of players, including Paul Pogba, £80million centre-back Harry Maguire, Ashley Young, Marcos Rojo, and Sergio Romero, missed out on the dinner.

De Gea's gesture was seen as an effort to bring the team together, but it appears not everyone was on board.

It's worth noting that Pogba had recently returned from injury and was not handed the captain's armband for the Carabao Cup third round tie, with Axel Tuenzebue taking on the role instead.

As the transfer window approaches, Pogba's future at Manchester United remains uncertain, with Real Madrid and Juventus reportedly interested in signing the France international.
