Man City star signing Riyad Mahrez visits former Leicester team-mates

  /  autty

Riyad Mahrez rejoined his former Leicester team-mates on Thursday night even if it was only for a few hours.

Manchester City's £60million summer signing visited a few of his old friends as Claude Puel's side prepared for their visit to Old Trafford on Friday.

Puel's Leicester take on Jose Mourinho's Manchester United in the Premier League curtain raiser.

Mahrez arrived at the Leicester team hotel in Manchester on Thursday evening and no doubt was full of advice as to how his old colleagues should set about United.

One player who won't need any help or motivation when the game kicks off at 8pm  is Harry Maguire.

After an excellent World Cup display for England, Maguire has been subject to plenty of interest at home and abroad.

United were one of the clubs who pursued a deal for the 25-year-old central defender.

Interest peaked towards the end of July with United reported to be prepared to pay up to £60m.

But Leicester didn't budge on their decision not to sell their star centre half.
