Jesse Lingard and Michael Keane reminisce about their youth team days at Manchester United, including a haircut that went wrong!

Jesse Lingard and Michael Keane have a strong bond courtesy of their days in the Manchester United youth team. But that friendship will be put aside for 90 minutes on Super Sunday.

Keane - who is now plying his trade at Everton - will be aiming to stop Lingard, who has become a regular at Manchester United over the last four seasons. The pair will know each other's game inside out from their time coming through the ranks at United, where a team including Paul Pogba won an FA Youth Cup among other titles.

Lingard managed to break into the United first team while Keane decided a move away to Burnley was the right call for his career. An impressive couple of seasons at Turf Moor resulted in Everton forking out £30m for his services in 2017.

The two England internationals remain good friends and Sky Sports' Patrick Davison caught up with them to look back at their memories in the United youth team.

Here is a snippet of some of the tales told:

Keane's bad hair day....

"When at United, my brother used to cut my hair but my other brother Will was moving to QPR so they were both sorting that deal. I wasn't going to wait so my brother's girlfriend was in the house and she said she'll do it. I wanted a number three on top. Instead of testing it out she went straight through the middle and it was a 3mm one! So we had to do all of my head. I was bald. I went into training the next day and everyone was calling me Heisenberg from Breaking Bad."
