Manchester United have confirmed their plans to mark the 64th anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster on Friday night. Ralf Rangnick will lay a wreath at Old Trafford ahead of the fourth round FA Cup tie with Middlesbrough.

United's players will wear black armbands in the match to remember the anniversary of the 1958 disaster. The Stretford End is also prepared with a giant banner, which will include the words: ‘We’ll never die’. “This is our closest game to the anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster and, as is customary, the club will be marking the occasion ahead of kick-off," Rangnick said. “I have always admired how this club pays tribute every year to such a major incident in its history. "It is important that this tradition always continues because it is such a big part of the Manchester United story.

I hope that we are also able to mark the occasion with an important victory this evening.” There will also be a fan-led ceremony at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.

The ceremony will begin at 14:40 GMT and will consist of poems and songs. The names of all those who lost their lives in the tragedy will then be read out prior to a two-minute silence.
