Manchester United Pay Tribute to Munich Air Disaster Ahead of Spurs Clash

Manchester United will honour the victims of the Munich air disaster before their Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. The club will mark the 67th anniversary of the tragedy, which claimed the lives of 23 people, including eight United players, in 1958. A minute's silence will be observed, and players will wear black armbands.

United manager Ruben Amorim is expected to name a strong side as his team looks to continue their recent good form. The Red Devils have won their last four matches in all competitions, with midfielder Michael Carrick playing a key role in the run. Carrick, who has started each of those games, has been praised for his consistency and leadership.

Tottenham, meanwhile, are aiming to extend their unbeaten run against United to nine games. Spurs have not lost to United since September 2022, winning three and drawing five of their last eight meetings. Manager Ange Postecoglou has no new injury concerns and is likely to field an attacking lineup.
