Manchester United captain Harry Maguire sends message as Munich air disaster anniversary approaches

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has spoken about the honour of representing his teammates when players, staff and supporters honour the Busby Babes.

Monday, February 6, will mark 65 years since the Munich air disaster, which saw 23 people die as a result of a plane crash in Munich. The plane was carrying the United team - nicknamed the 'Busby Babes' - and supporters and journalists back from a European Cup match in Belgrade, Yugoslavia [now Serbia].

Ahead of the Reds' Premier League clash with Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon, first-team manager Erik ten Hag will lay a commemorative wreath on behalf of the club to mark the 65th anniversary.
