The Australian duo were travelling on a train to Manchester when their journey was disrupted by a loud group of men who were playing games and chatting.

Recognising the noise they were making, one of the men - Manchester United and France star Paul Pogba - offered his apologies and suggested he should pose for a photograph with the couple.

However, it was only when the married duo sent the photograph onto their son did they realise they'd been travelling in the same carriage as the entire United squad.
