Manchester United honoured club legend Sir Bobby Charlton in their first home game since his death. 

Ahead of their Champions League tie with Danish side Copenhagen, United boss Erik ten Hag layed a wreath on the side of the pitch and both sides walked out from the tunnel with a bagpipe player. 

But an unexpected addition was that of the away fans who not only respectfully observed the proceedings but heartly joined in with the tributes to the late superstar. 

The visitors’ fans also unfurled a banner which read: ‘Passion is what separates the good from the great. Rest in peace Sir Bobby Charlton.’

Tributes have poured in for the Ballon d’Or winner since his passing last weekend.

Charlton was born in Ashington Northumberland on October 11, 1937 and is widely viewed as one of the greatest players to ever grace the game. He played an integral role in England’s 1966 World Cup glory.

On Tuesday, a wreath was also placed on Sir Bobby’s seat within the Director’s Box, while he was remembered on the front cover of the matchday programme.

Players and staff of both sides similarly wore black armbands in memory of the United legend. 

Both Paul Scholes and Rio Ferdinand paid tribute to the United legend when working pitchside for TNT Sports.

Ferdinand said: ‘He was just a fantastic human being first and foremost. A wonderful football player but the way that he carried himself as a human being was the thing that stood out for me above everything.

‘The football club ran through his veins. He just loved this football club like not many I’ve ever seen before.’

Scholes added: ‘He was a wonderful wonderful man. It was sad day when we found out the news but I think if you look at all the tributes around the world – the first player that comes to your mind when you think about Man United is Sir Bobby Charlton.

‘To go through what he went through with the tragedy of Munich and then to go on to win the European Cup and the World Cup – it’s just a really sad evening tonight and let’s just hope we get through it.’
