Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick 'desperately sad' about Ukraine conflict

Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick is in disbelief at the 'human disaster' of the Ukraine conflict and believes Uefa's decision to strip Russia of the Champions League final was 'inevitable'.

Russia invaded Ukraine by land, sea and air in the early hours of Thursday morning and 137 soldiers and civilians were killed in the first day of conflict. Uefa confirmed on Friday morning the Champions League final would now be staged at the Parc des Prince in Paris, rather than St Petersburg.

United have terminated their sponsorship with Russian airline Aeroflot, which is banned from flying into the UK.
