Liverpool and Manchester United fans to unite in support for Cristiano Ronaldo after death of baby son

Fans of Manchester United and Liverpool will unite to show their support for Cristiano Ronaldo and his partner Georgina Rodriguez this evening following the tragic loss of their newborn son.

Manchester United have confirmed the Portuguese superstar will miss this evening’s game at Anfield. Ronaldo and his partner announced on Monday evening that their newborn baby son had passed away soon after Rodriguez gave birth to twins, with their daughter surviving.

The pair have received countless messages of support since making the announcement on social media. Some Liverpool fans suggested that supporters should applaud in the seventh minute of tonight's match - a gesture which has now been officially endorsed by the two clubs.
