On the 64th anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster, Harry Maguire told club media: “It’s a really important day every year when it’s the anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster, which was a huge tragedy.
“But it’s a tragedy from which the club has built a lot of its tradition and foundations, and it shows its togetherness with the fans when the anniversary comes around.
“The club, in general, has shown a huge togetherness over the years, in rising again and showing spirit.”
The Manchester United captain continued: “It’s so important to find out about the history of the club, because that’s a lot of what the tradition is built on.
“It’s definitely important that anyone who signs for the club finds out about our history. That’s a big part of it [signing for United]. “When you join the club you learn about what happened [at Munich], and the story behind it all. Because obviously it’s such a big, important day in the history of this club.
“This club has so much history, but that, in particular, is such an important day. For us as a club to build together and to build in that spirit.”
Maguire added: “I think it’s a huge tradition of the club: what Sir Matt Busby did and the way that he built the club up through togetherness and spirit, especially after Munich.
“I think it’s something that needs to be instilled into you when you come to this club.”
23 people lost their lives on that tragic flight and the club haven’t been the same ever since.
As fans and supporters of this glorious club, we pay our respects to those victims and families. You’ll forever live on in our hearts. ❤️
