On 6 February 1958, 23 people – including eight players and three members of the club’s staff – suffered fatal injuries in the Munich Air Disaster, when travelling back from a European Cup tie against Red Star Belgrade.
Fans paid tribute before our match against Burnley on 29 January – the home game closest to the anniversary – and there will be another gathering this afternoon (Wednesday) under the Munich memorial plaque at Old Trafford from 14:40 GMT.
As we remember those who lost their lives at Munich, here we share the thoughts of our caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, club legend Paddy Crerand and midfielder Scott McTominay below.
