Erik ten Hag and Harry Maguire's poignant messages as Man Utd mark Munich air disaster

Erik ten Hag says the best way to honour the victims of the Munich air disaster is to uphold Sir Matt Busby’s rich footballing heritage.

Monday marks the 65th anniversary of the tragedy, which claimed the lives of 23 people, including eight of Manchester United 's 'Busby Babes'. United boss Ten Hag said continuing to follow the attacking traditions laid down by Sir Matt is a fitting tribute to those who lost their lives in the tragedy.

“This year marks the 65th anniversary of the crash and it is clearly a chapter in the club's history which must always be remembered and respected,” said Ten Hag.
