Mourinho, Players To Honour Dead Calabar Fans
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.
Up to 30 football fans in Calabar were electrocuted while watching United’s Uefa Europa League quarter-final second leg tie at Old Trafford Thursday last week.
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.
United will face Spanish club Celta Vigo in the semi-final of the Europa League.
