MANCHESTER UNITED’S players enjoyed a team-bonding meal at a £120-per-head restaurant after the PFA Awards.
Erik ten Hag’s men splashed out at contemporary Chinese restaurant Tattu, with crocked trio Luke Shaw, Leny Yoro and Tyrell Malacia making appearances.
United beat Fulham 1-0 in their Premier League opener thanks to new striker Joshua Zirkzee’s late goal.
And following last night’s PFA awards, players treated themselves to some tasty dishes to celebrate a successful start to the new season.
One set menu at Tattu, dubbed the “Emperor’s Choice”, costs £119 per person.
Stars tucked into a succulent Chinese meal with dishes including red belly pork, wagyu beef, green pepper lobster and Singapore shiitake noodles.

But there was no sign of boss Ten Hag as he prepares for Saturday’s trip to Brighton.
United’s players took a relaxed approach to the bonding session, with new boys Joshua Zirkzee, Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui enjoying their first taste of Manchester’s nightlife.
Marcus Rashford, Casemiro, Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans must have gone to the same stylist as they dressed themselves in black shirts and light trousers.
While captain Bruno Fernandes opted for a stylish cream jacket with baggy blue jeans.

Alejandro Garnacho, Diogo Dalot, Kobbie Mainoo, Rasmus Hojlund, Lisandro Martinez, Christian Eriksen, Amad Diallo and Hannibal Mejbri were also seen on the night out.
But it was the sight of injured defenders Shaw, Yoro and Malacia that will have put a smile on fans’ faces.
The latter did not make a single appearance last season and is still not fit.
Yet Malacia appeared to be in good spirits as he opted to dress in bright colours.
As for Shaw, he wore a baggy white jumper after picking up a calf injury in pre-season.
The left-back started the Euro 2024 final for England after returning from a problem sustained in February.
And he hopes to be fit again after next month’s international break.
Finally, new centre-back Yoro showed the extent of his foot injury as he made his way into the restaurant on crutches.
