While many Manchester United players will have been licking their wounds a day after losing 3-1 at rivals Liverpool, Paul Pogba jetted off to Paris.
The French midfielder, who was an unused substitute as United were thoroughly outplayed at Anfield, spent Monday at an Adidas Tango League event alongside former Juventus team-mate Paulo Dybala.
Pogba and Dybala both wore Adidas tracksuits, while an image of the Frenchman's face was superimposed onto the floor of a five-a-side football court.

Pogba's future at Old Trafford, where he has fallen out with manager Jose Mourinho, seems far from certain and he has been persistently linked with a move back to Italian giants Juventus.
In a host of photos shared via Instagram on Monday, Pogba appeared to be enjoying the company of striker Dybala, with whom he won the Serie A and Coppa Italia double in 2016.
Pogba captioned one photo of himself and Dybala with the words: 'Con mi Hermano', which translates from Spanish as: 'With my Brother'.
United made Pogba the world's most expensive footballer when they signed him from Juventus for £89million in 2016, but he has yet to rediscover his top form at club level, despite shining for France in their 2018 World Cup triumph.
Pogba was given the captain's armband by Mourinho earlier this season only to be told by the manager in September that he would never lead the team again.
Mourinho's U-turn came after the Frenchman voiced frustration at United's tactics and it was not the last time that the pair have clashed, with an argument on the training field picked up by television cameras soon after.
And last month Mourinho is said to have complained about a lack of heart being shown by Pogba during United's 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace. Since that game, Pogba has started four of United's next six matches on the bench.
It seems hard to imagine that both Mourinho and Pogba can remain at Old Trafford long term, but it is unclear who will leave first.
Mourinho is the bookies' favourite to be the next Premier League manager to leave his post, while reports in Italy claim that Juventus and Pogba are both in favour of a January transfer back to Turin.

if you can't work hard at United, is it juve that you will work hard? at juve Arturo Vidal was there to do the dirty work for him.. and who is that at United? don't forget that Pogba is talented but in a way he can't survive where there's no world class dirty midfielder to clean his mess. I hope he gives Mourinho and the fans of Man utd the respect of playing well on the pitch than creating unwanted new with his ill mannered antics... GGMU.... we are rising again
