Paul Pogba could have been a Manchester City player as recently as January according to the club's manager Pep Guardiola.
While it remains unclear if all the talk has got inside Pogba's head it certainly appears to have featured on it.
Along with team-mates, the Manchester United midfielder arrived at the Lowry hotel on the day of the clash between the sides still sporting a light blue streak in is hair.
The dash of blue has been on Pogba's head since he was on international duty with France.
