Manchester United have announced the club’s players will wear black armbands in Sunday’s home league game against Swansea City in honour of football fans who recently lost their lives in Calabar, Nigeria.
This was announced in United’s verified twitter handle on Friday.

United went on to win the game 2-1 and progressed into the semi-finals 3-2 on aggregate.
“The Manchester United FC players will wear black armbands on Sunday in memory of the seven fans who lost their lives recently in Calabar, Nigeria,” United wrote on their handle.
