Old Trafford was alight with a tribute to the NHS on Wednesday evening as frontline workers battle the coronavirus pandemic.
The world-famous Red Devils stadium had just three of the letters in ‘Manchester United’ lit up, leaving ‘NHS’ emblazoned on the arena.
Ex-Man United defender Gary Neville shared a picture of the gesture on social media and praised his former club.
Gary Lineker, the former England striker, also praised the Red Devils, calling their tribute a ‘nice touch’ on Instagram.
The tribute comes in the wake of Man United doing many things to assist the NHS amid the ongoing crisis.
Last week, the Red Devils announced their foundation had delivered more than 3,500 gifts to NHS staff, while the club offered their 16-vehicle fleet to the healthcare system to aid in courier operations.
Furthermore, United have donated medical equipment and consumables to Salford Royal, while they are also part of the Premier League’s £20million commitment to support the NHS, communities, families and vulnerable groups affected by the pandemic.
