The trio were at the restaurant for four hours until they were seen leaving on Monday night.

Ten Hag, 54, and Van Persie, 40, would have been in good moods after a run of three wins on the bounce.

Vos represents Ten Hag as well as notable players and managers such as Cody Gakpo, Donyell Malen and Pep Guardiola.

The trio were pictured leaving the restaurant as Ten Hag shared an embrace with the agent.

The restaurant is known for making traditional Italian food such as hand-made pasta, pizzas, seafood, and meat dishes.

The venue itself boasts on its website that it is “frequently graced” by celebrities and that it is a “favoured spot” for footballers.

Ten Hag has been pictured at the restaurant before while the likes of Patrice Evra, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and Ryan Giggs have been known to visit.

Van Persie had been at Old Trafford on Sunday to watch Manchester United take on West Ham.

The Red Devils ran out 3-0 winners thanks to a strike from Rasmus Hojlund and an Alejandro Garnacho brace.

There was some bad news for Ten Hag as Lisandro Martinz suffered a “very bad” injury after a collision with Vladimir Coufal.

Club legend Rio Ferdinand has suggested that the Argentine’s injury could derail the season.

It has been claimed that the defender has not suffered an ACL injury but instead sprained his collateral ligament.

This could rule him out of matches against Luton, Fulham, Manchester City, Everton and Sheffield United, as well as the FA Cup fifth-round clash with Nottingham Forest or Bristol City.

Van Persie is currently coaching at Feyenoord and is in charge of the under-18 and under-19 teams.

In November he came across another former Premier League great in Fernando Torres as his side took on Atletico Madrid in the Uefa Youth League.
