Manchester United stars recite poignant poem in video to commemorate 60th anniversary of the Munich air disaster

Three Manchester United first-team players have participated in a new short film to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Munich air disaster.

Ander Herrera, Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard linked up with the Manchester United Foundation, the charity arm of the club which was set up in 2007 as a legacy to the Busby Babes, for the project.

The players were joined by young people to recite a poignant poem, which was interspersed with emotive imagery of the Busby Babes and newspaper clippings from the tragic event.

The poem concludes with footage of a huge 'We'll Never Die' banner being held aloft by fans in the Stretford End at Old Trafford.
