Carlos Tevez may be unhappy in China, according to media reports, but he certainly cheered up when he was paid a visit by his former Juventus teammate Paul Pogba on Saturday.

The Argentine striker is reported to be earning an astonishing US$800,000 a week at Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua, but has had trouble settling in to his new surroundings and is considering his future.

But Tevez was beaming from ear to ear as he hung out with Manchester United midfielder Pogba, who is currently on holiday – and seemingly a promotional tour – in China.

Great to see you bro @tevezoficial #pogchina #shanghaishenhua

The pair starred for Juventus between 2013 and 2015, before Tevez returned to his boyhood club, Boca Juniors.

They were reunited at last, with the Frenchman receiving a Shenhua jersey from Tevez and presenting him with a signed United No 6 shirt.

United fans may not be too happy to see him wearing their shirt again, given his acrimonious departure from the club to rivals Manchester City in 2009 – and perhaps neither will City supporters.
