Manchester United are to unveil a statue of club legend Jimmy Murphy - 65 years to the day he led them to the FA Cup Final following the Munich Air Disaster.
The sculpture - of a man integral to the rebuild following the tragedy - will stand behind the Stretford End and will be revealed on May 3 next year, following talks with fans.
Designed by Scots sculptor Alan Herriot – who also crafted the statue of Denis Law in the ex-player’s home city of Aberdeen – the work will face what was an ash-cinder training pitch where Murphy used to put the Busby Babes through their paces.
