Leeds United's Adam Forshaw meets UFC star Paddy Pimblett during Liverpool trip with former teammate

In perhaps one of the strangest Leeds United collaborations in recent memory, Whites midfielder Adam Forshaw has been pictured meeting UFC star Paddy Pimblett at Anfield.

The Leeds midfielder was in attendance for Liverpool's midweek game against West Ham United, which saw Jurgen Klopp's Reds beat the Hammers 1-0 courtesy of a Darwin Nunez header.

Forshaw, who is currently returning from injury, is from Liverpool, which could explain the reason for his appearance the Reds game.

In an Instagram post from former England international Stuart Downing, who played with Forshaw at Middlesbrough, the Leeds midfielder is pictured in a group with Pimblett dead centre.

And it prompted Pimblett to repost Downing's photo to his story with the message: "Nice to meet a former red @stewartdowning tonight and finally meet @adam_forshaw4 in the flesh"

The only connection between the two seem to be their ties to Liverpool and perhaps their new found friendship could see Pimblett turn up at Elland Road in the near future to catch a Whites game.
