Manchester United to honour dead Nigerian fans


Manchester United will on Sunday honour the seven Nigerians who lost their lives while watching the Red Devils’ Europa League against Anderlecht.
The Nigerian fans had died when a transformer near the viewing centre where they were watching the match exploded twice. A high tension wire dropped on the structure built with zinc electrocuting them.
In a twitter post on Friday, the club said it would remember the dead fans when they host Swansea City at old Trafford this weekend.
