"You are the strength and inspiration for those who play your roles today.
We look for flair and pace and passion to play the game United’s way."
So read Louis van Gaal on the day that Manchester United commemorated the 57th anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster. The words came from a poem that had been handed to him by a fan of the Red Devils as the club paid tribute to those who lost their lives on that fateful day in 1958. The Dutchman was as contemplative as we've seen him since taking over the reins at Old Trafford and was visibly touched by the memorial service put on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Por2FmeclU H/t to 101GreatGoalsExplore more on these topics:
