Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba puts rivalry aside as he hangs out with City duo Benjamin Mendy and Rihad Mahrez before dinner with own team-mates

PAUL POGBA and Benjamin Mendy set their inter-city Manchester rivalry aside as they hung out on their days off.

The France internationals called each other "bro" as they embraced and greeted Riyad Mahrez as well.

The trio all have a background at Le Havre in France's Ligue 2 — but now they are part of Manchester's two biggest football factions.

But for Mendy and Pogba, the biggest rewards have been on international duty with France at the World Cup.

Mahrez also qualified to play for France, but opted to star for Algeria instead, who did not qualify for Russia.

Pogba then headed out to eat with his United team-mates, following their win at Watford.

The £89million midfielder then shared an Instagram video enjoying dinner in Manchester along with Marouane Fellaini, Eric Bailly, Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Victor Lindelof and Anthony Martial.

Apart from Fulham loanee Fosu-Mensah, the players all played for United in their 2-1 victory at Vicarage Road.

United were made to scrap and battle for the victory, but Jose Mourinho was pleased with the result, even if he thought his side should have been further ahead by half time.

Mahrez and Mendy were both in the team as City tore Fulham apart 3-0 in the Premier League on Saturday.

Fellaini looked like he was enjoying himself after an incident with a train user trying to film him as the United team headed back to Manchester.
