Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans have played together for both Leicester City and Manchester United, but how well do the two centre-backs really know one another?
Their paths first crossed with the Foxes, where they played together for the 2018-19 season, before Maguire made a big-money move to Old Trafford. Evans probably never expected to reunite with his old partner, but made a shock return to United in 2023, and has since been one of their better performing players.
Judging from both social media posts and this video, the two are quite close friends off the pitch, so one suspects their likes, dislikes and everything else would be well known. But are they?
With Maguire currently out injured, Evans will hope to get a head start under new head coach Ruben Amorim, who is set to adopt a three at the back system, which could suit both players.
