Manchester United To Honor Fans Electrocuted In Nigeria by Engrkingsley(m): 10:12am On Apr 29, 2017 |
Manchester United have confirmed that the electrocuted
Nigerian fans will be remembered at the Old Trafford
when they host Swansea in a league fixture on Sunday
Tragedy struck during the Red Devils' Europa League
encounter as Anderlecht as the football fans were
electrocuted at Nyagasang, Calabar.
They had gathered at the popular viewing centre when a
transformer nearby exploded twice – with a high tension
wire dropping on the structure built with zinc.
However, the club has announced that against the
Swans, Jose Mourinho's men will wear black armbands
to pay tribute to the victims of the tragedy.
The #MUFC players will wear black armbands on
Sunday in memory of the seven fans who lost
their lives recently in Calabar, Nigeria.
''The #MUFC players will wear black armbands on
Sunday in memory of the seven fans who lost their lives
recently in Calabar, Nigeria,'' the club tweeted.
United who played a 0-0 draw against Manchester City
on Wednesday need a win against Paul Clement's men to
boost their chances of qualifying for next season's Uefa
Champions League.
They are fifth on the log with 64 points after 33 games.
Swansea are in the relegation zone with 31 points after
34 outings. |
