Manchester United supporters have praised Arsenal for their 'classy' gesture towards Cristiano Ronaldo during the Premier League showdown at the Emirates Stadium this afternoon. The crowd joined together to applaud Ronaldo after the tragic death of his newborn son.
Putting rivalries to one side, a similar gesture was prompted by Liverpool fans on Tuesday night and the emotional scenes have been replicated in north London. United had previously led condolences for the Portuguese captain as other key figures and players reached out to him and his family after their devastating news.
Standing and clapping in the seventh minute, the applause comes after Ronaldo and girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez announced the tragic death of their newborn son. Georgina gave birth to twins on Monday evening and their baby daughter arrived safely.
