The centre-back, who helped his side earn a 1-1 draw with the hosts in the Allianz Arena, took time to travel to the site beforehand and spent around half an hour there on Monday evening.
"It was an honour to visit the Manchester United Memorial at Manchesterplatz to pay my respects to the 23 people, including eight Busby Babes, whose lives were lost in the Munich Air Disaster," he posted on social media.
The tragedy in 1958, after Matt Busby's side had played a European Cup tie against Red Star Belgrade, remains a devastating chapter in United's history that will never be forgotten.
