Best mates ... Rio Ferdinand and Harry Styles at restaurant
ONE Direction’s Harry Styles has struck up a bizarre bromance with Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand.
Harry, 19, and Rio, 34, spent most of the weekend together — watching each other perform and enjoying late-night meals.
The defender went to see One Direction play in Manchester on both Friday and Saturday nights.
And he returned the favour by organising a VIP ticket so heart-throb Harry could watch him play for United against Reading on Saturday.
Rio then kept his restaurant open until 2am so he and Harry could eat together after Saturday’s gig.

The pop star went on Twitter to post a snap of him wearing Rio’s No.5 shirt — with a message that read: “Hope you enjoyed the show tonight rioferdy5.”
Ferdinand has previously said that grime is his favourite type of music. But he clearly enjoyed One Direction’s brand of lightweight pop.
On Friday he tweeted to his four million followers: “Just at the 1Direction concert....ear drums are struggling...never heard so much screaming!! Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!! Lads on fire!”
The next day Harry rushed to Old Trafford for the match, posting a picture of the ground and saying: “Made it just in time for kick off.”
Ferdinand was back watching One Direction that night and made sure his Manchester restaurant Rosso continued serving into the early hours so that Harry could eat afterwards.
Harry left Ferdinand to travel to Liverpool for another show yesterday.
