Leicester three points from history

When Leicester City travel to Old Trafford on Sunday, knowing that a win will clinch the Premier League title, it will be a homecoming for two of their key players. Midfielder Danny Drinkwater, 26, and right-back Danny Simpson, 29, are both Manchester lads who grew up as United fans and played for the club.

Drinkwater was raised 5 miles from Old Trafford and owned a season ticket in the East Stand as a youngster, from where he idolised Roy Keane and Paul Scholes, who played in his position. He made the journey from Altrincham to Old Trafford by Metrolink with mates who still go to United games.
