Man utd v liverpool match today

[DC_FC]

Why were the utd players wearing black armbands for todays match ? Usually they're worn if someone has passed away but ive not heard of anyone passing away. Can anyone tell me why ?

Thanks

First home match since the anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster.

Don't know, maybe to do with Nottingham Forest owner who died recently.

It was a mark of respect for the passing away of all Liverpool FCs dignity.
