Manchester United has announced that its players will wear black armbands in Sunday’s home league game against Swansea City in honour of Nigerian football fans who died recently in Calabar, Cross River.
A number of football fans were last week Thursday electrocuted at a viewing center while watching United’s UEFA Europa League quarter final game against Anderletch.
“The Manchester United FC players will wear black armbands on Sunday in memory of the seven fans who lost their lives recently in Calabar, Nigeria,” United wrote on Twitter, on Friday.
