Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, pictured, paid tribute to Sir Bobby Charlton at his press conference on Monday
Ten Hag cited Charlton as an inspiration for his players in Saturday’s 2-1 win away to Sheffield United, secured by Diogo Dalot’s late winner, but Tuesday’s match will be United’s first home game since Charlton’s death, an opportunity to pay tribute on and off the pitch.“The legacy that he left for standards, high standards, we have to live it every day. Of course first of all our thoughts are with his family, his wife, children and grandchildren.
United have confirmed that the match will be preceded by a special tribute to Charlton, culminating in a minute’s silence, while a wreath will be laid on his seat in the directors’ box and players and club staff will wear black armbands. Dalot’s powerful strike at Bramall Lane drew comparisons with some of Charlton’s goals, something the Portugal international said he had been honoured to be told.Diogo Dalot scored a stunning winner for Manchester United at Sheffield United on Saturday
“I remember the last game, the home game against Brentford, even the game is not going in our direction they stayed behind us in difficult moments and moments of adversity around Manchester United the fans are still with us and we are with the fans, we are fighting together. “Sir Bobby made more than 600 Football League appearances for Manchester United and Preston North End during a stellar professional career that lasted over 20 years,” an EFL statement read.
