The Brazil legend scored a chance meeting with Lingard's Manchester United teammate, Marcus Rashford, as the two dined out in a Florida restaurant.

"Nice to sit down and chat with the king," Rashford said, posting a photo of the brief encounter on Twitter.

Ronaldinho duly reciprocated, adding that it was nice to meet such a "humble and good" young player.

It's all kind of sweet in a way. Hope they stay in touch.
