Manchester United pay respect on Hillsborough anniversary

Today marks the 26th anniversary of the tragic Hillsborough disaster that claimed the lives of 96 football fans who travelled to the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest at the Hillsborough Stadium.

We, ourselves, as an independent voice of Manchester United shared respect to those that died during the disaster.

The hashtag #JFT96 is a top trend in the United Kingdom with folkĀ of the football world and other well-known names leading the tributes to the 96 fans that went to a game and never returned.
