PAUL POGBA and girlfriend Maria Salaues took a break from their new role as parents to head out for dinner last night.
Pogba, 25, took the model to The Ivy restaurant in Manchester as the couple enjoyed a brief break from their little one.
He headed out with girlfriend Maria Salaues for the evening last night.There was no evidence of the baby bump last
night after it was on show at Old Trafford in December
News of the “Pogbaby’s” birth was revealed by Manchester United legend Bryan Robson.
He said: “When I saw Paul last week in Dubai with the United squad, I had a little chat and congratulated him on the birth of his baby. He just seemed so relaxed and easy with things.”
And Robson appears to have been proven right as Salaues’ baby bump had disappeared when she was snapped last night.
The couple were joined at the restaurant by another man, while the newborn was presumably having a nap back at home.
Salaues, 23, showed off her bump at the Manchester United games against Huddersfield and Bournemouth during the Christmas period.
Her boyfriend scored twice in each of those games as he put on a show for the Bolivian beauty.
Pogba, who is usually very active on social media, is yet to confirm the news.
The couple have kept their relationship low-key, with Salaues first emerging when she supported Pogba at the World Cup in the summer.
When the squad headed to Dubai for their warm-weather training last week, the French star joined up a few days later.
SunSport captured the midfielder walking his dog when the team were in the Middle East as the club confirmed he did not travel, instead staying home for a few more days to receive treatment.
Some reports suggest the baby’s imminent birth may have been a factor in that decision, too.
He did link up with the team for a few days last week before returning to the UK.

On Sunday, he played a stunning pass which released Marcus Rashford to score the only goal of the game against Tottenham.
It meant it was a sixth win out of six for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and moved United level on points with fifth-placed Arsenal.
Next up for the new father and his team-mates is Brighton’s trip to Old Trafford.
And Red Devils fans will be desperate that parenting, sleepless nights and added responsibility do not hinder his performances on the pitch.
ONE pundit once famously told Manchester United: ‘You’ll never win anything with kids’.
The Red Devils will hope that isn’t true this season – as they’re getting set for a baby boom.
No fewer than FIVE first-team players at Old Trafford will become fathers this season.
After Paul Pogba’s Maria Salaues gave birth recently, the partners of Victor Lindelof, Chris Smalling, Fred and Matteo Darmian are all pregnant.
While United approach the end of the season and Solskjaer looks to do enough to get the Old Trafford job on a permanent basis, fatigue will no doubt be an issue after a tough campaign.
But it is going to be especially difficult for the five new dads as they deal with sleepless nights.
And they will hope those words from Alan Hansen prove as accurate as they did in 1995- and they do win something with kids.
