Luke Shaw also returned to his car after the meal to discover he had been given a parking ticket.
The England defender, 26, had the fine left on his silver Range Rover after he parked up near the restaurant, located in the Spinningfields area of Manchester’s city centre.
Stars including Paul Pogba, Anthony Martial and new signing Jadon Sancho also attended the do at The Ivy.
