Old Trafford's special tribute to the NHS

This move will coincide with the weekly 'Clap For Carers' which has been taking place at 20:00 BST every Thursday since the country went into lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.

While the Theatre of Dreams is not normally bathed in blue, of course, the unprecedented colour change has been organised to recognise the extraordinary efforts of the frontline workers who are treating COVID-19 patients and saving lives.

The stadium tribute follows the package of measures which the club announced last week to support local NHS services.

Thousands of gifts and food packages have been distributed to NHS trusts across the Manchester area.
