Manchester United star Henrik Mkhitaryan was photographed with the ex-wife of Djibril Cisse, Jude Cisse, as the pair enjoyed a meal together at San Carlo Chiccetti on Sunday.
The Armenian international flew to Los Angeles with the rest of the Manchester United squad on Sunday evening but managed to squeeze one last meal in the revered Italian eatery in Manchester's city centre first.
He was photographed deep in conversation with Jude, 42, who was married to the former Liverpool striker for seven years between 2005-2012 and had three sons before an acrimonious divorce.
She has kept herself in the limelight by starring in a 2015 Channel 5 documentary about her life as a single mum, a decision that inspired her ex-husband to go on a X-rated Twitter rant at the time.
