Manning tribute is least Boro can do - Carrick

Related Topics: Michael Carrick

Middlesbrough head coach Michael Carrick says that holding a tribute to the late baby son of Bristol City boss Liam Manning "is the least" his own club can do.

Boro play Bristol City at the Riverside Stadium on Saturday, but Manning will not be there as he is on a period of absence following the death of Theo John.

A minute's applause is planned for before the match and black armbands will be worn by both sides as a mark of respect for the Manning family.

"We can certainly pay our respects to Liam and his family on Saturday," said Carrick.
