Our thoughts are with Manchester United, as we pause for remembrance on the anniversary of the Munich air disaster. #FlowersOfManchester

🌹 The Flowers of Manchester 🌹 We were the kings of England. Twice we'd won the First Division, and it felt like we were only getting started. Those lads, our lads, they weren't just footballers. They were something else entirely. A revolution in red shirts, playing with this

Always remembered. Never forgotten. The Flowers of English football. The Flowers of Manchester. 🌹❤️

The French really do have the best rousing anthem..! 🏉🇫🇷
