Manchester United stars hold minute's silence for victims of terror attack as security is ramped up at training ground and Europa League final venue

Manchester United's clash with Ajax in the Europa League final will still go ahead on Wednesday despite the pop concert terror attack at Manchester Arena.

An explosion in the foyer of the north-west venue on Monday killed 22 people, with a further 59 requiring hospital treatment.

The incident sparked questions over whether or not the Stockholm match would take place as planned, but European football's governing body, UEFA, confirmed on Tuesday that there is no intention to postpone the game.
