Jadon Sancho and his new Manchester United teammates enjoyed a pre-season get together, only for the evening to end in frustration for ‘keeper David De Gea.
The £73m signing has had a shortened pre-season thanks to his exploits for England at Euro 2020 this summer.
In fact, Sancho only completed his first United training session on Monday, less than a week before their league opener.
He was granted additional time off after his £72.9million deal was announced, although he ended up reporting a week later than Three Lions teammates Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire.
But almost the entire Manchester United team were together on Tuesday night as they enjoyed a meal together at The Ivy in Manchester.
Sancho was spotted along with the likes of Anthony Martial, Paul Pogba, Donny van de Beek and De Gea.
However, after leaving the restaurant at around 10.30pm, De Gea - who is set to start the season as the club's No 1 - discovered his £150,000 Aston Martin Vantage had its front wheels clamped.
The vehicle was clamped due to it being out of tax, with De Gea forced to take a taxi home from the city centre venue.
It is also reported that Shaw endured his own parking frustrations, returning to his Range Rover only to see it had been given a parking ticket.
The Red Devils kick off their Premier League campaign on Saturday, when they face old rivals Leeds United at Old Trafford.
Sancho could be in line for his competitive start at his new club, while Raphael Varane could be named on the bench with his move from Real Madrid nearing completion.
The Frenchman is in the UK and it is believed that he will conduct his medical at the club’s training ground before his transfer is officially announced.
Marcus Rashford wasn’t in attendance with the rest of his colleagues as he continues the road to recovery following shoulder surgery.
The England hero has had treatment on the troublesome shoulder that he admitted affected his performances at the European Championships.
He could now miss up to three months of the new season but told supporters that everything went well and he is “feeling good” after Friday’s surgery.
Club officials hope he will be fit to return by October, but Sancho will need to hit the ground running in the early weeks of the campaign, with Edinson Cavani also likely to be sidelined.
The Uruguayan, like Sancho, was given an extended summer break after the Copa America, with United allowing him to return to his homeland to see family.
