United’s respective head coaches Michael Carrick and Marc Skinner laid a wreath, followed by captains Bruno Fernandes and Maya Le Tissier, youth-team scholars and Duncan Drasdo from the Manchester United Supporters Trust.
Club legend Sammy McIlroy spoke on stage about his memories of the tragedy as a young boy from Northern Ireland, who went on to make 419 appearances as a Red.
