Man United play Sheffield United in the Premier League on Saturday and we'll bring you live match updates in this blog.
went into the break on a high after securing a dramatic 2-1 win over Brentford at Old Trafford thanks to Scott McTominay's late brace and supporters are hoping that result can be used as a springboard for progress., but this weekend's visit to Bramall Lane represents the perfect opportunity for back-to-back league wins against the side rooted to the bottom of the table.
Many United fans will be wiping their eyes after today’s news. Charlton was a hero for many who grew up in an era where the only means of watching a footballer was to go to the match or watch Match of the Day. That gave Charlton, Best and Denis Law a god-like aura. It's hard to think of another figure in the history of Manchester United that embodies the club in the way that the great Sir Bobby Charlton did.
Charlton is one of the most significant figures in United’s history, playing 758 games for the club and winning the European Cup in 1968, 10 years after he survived the Munich air disaster.Sir Geoff Hurst has said 'football will never forget him' following the death of United legend Sir Bobby Charlton.
"With his passing, we lose the last player to survive the Munich air crash, the darkest day in our history. "He was admired as much for his sportsmanship and integrity as he was for his outstanding qualities as a footballer; Sir Bobby will always be remembered as a giant of the game. Charlton likened playing at Wembley as a schoolboy to arriving in paradise – and his dreams came true there.
That victory capped the post-Munich rebuilding, with Charlton, along with Bill Foulkes one of only two survivors of the tragedy in the team, opting out of post-match celebrations to remember those who died.'He was as near perfection as man' “There has never been a more popular footballer. He was as near perfection as man and player as it is possible to be,” former United boss Sir Matt Busby said of Charlton.“It is with great sadness that we share the news that Sir Bobby passed peacefully in the early hours of Saturday morning. He was surrounded by his family.
