Manchester United paid tribute to their legendary former player Sir Bobby Charlton during a Champions League game against FC Copenhagen at Old Trafford. The tribute included players wearing black armbands and a minute's silence in honour of Sir Bobby, who recently passed away.

A wreath was placed on his seat in the directors' box, and manager Erik ten Hag led a tribute on the pitch. The match programme featured a tribute, and fans left floral tributes outside the stadium.

Sir Bobby Charlton was an iconic figure in English and Manchester United football history, winning the World Cup in 1966 and leading Manchester United to major honours, including the 1968 European Cup.
