Like Montagues and Capulets, the warring tribes of Manchester rarely mix, but Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Nolito put rivalry aside over some Italian cuisine.
The pair were pictured leaving San Carlo restaurant, a favourite haunt of footballers from both the blue and red sides of the city.
Joined by friends, the players were seen stepping into the street outside the Italian in the centre of Manchester.
Nolito was afforded the opportunity to relax ahead of this weekends Premier League fixture against Tottenham.
