Harry Styles strikes up friendship with footballer Rio Ferdinand

One Direction singer Harry Styles has seemingly spent the weekend solidifying his friendship with Manchester Utd footballer Rio Ferdinand.

The 'Live While We're Young' star is no stranger to having famous friends, with the likes of Nick Grimshaw best mates with Styles.

The global icon revealed on Twitter that he took on in Manchester Utd's home game on Saturday (March 16) against Reading, posting a photo from his seat.

The favour it was returned, it seems, with Styles later posting that Ferdinand had attended the band's Manchester gig the same night.

The singer even posted a photo of himself wearing a Utd top with the footballer's name and number on the back.

The England defender tweeted that One Direction were "on fire" during the show, later adding:

"@Harry_Styles @Louis_Tomlinson @niallofficial @zaynmalik @real_liam_payne it was great to witness success live like that! #Doingit."
