Manchester United marked the 65th anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster with a memorial service on Monday afternoon.  

United players, staff and fans gathered outside Old Trafford to pay their respects to those who lost their lives in the tragic accident.  

United manager Erik ten Hag was seen laying a wreath at the memorial site before the service took place, while Harry Maguire was pictured listening to the readings. 

The service was organised by fan group Munich58 and the charity Manchester Munich Memorial Foundation (MMMF) to commemorate the Munich Air Disaster. 

In February 1958, a charter plane crashed after refuelling in Munich. The accident claimed the lives of 23 people, including eight United players and three match officials.
