will honour the victims<\/a> of the Munich air disaster in their annual commemoration on Friday, in a half-hour service under the Munich clock at Old Trafford (14:45 GMT).<\/p>\nThe disaster killed 23 passengers, including eight players, on a flight back from a European Cup tie in Belgrade in 1958.<\/p>\n
Michael Carrick on what the remembrance means to him as both the United boss and a former player: “It means a great deal. As soon as you come here, you\u2019re made aware and you can\u2019t help but know and understand the history. It\u2019s a responsibility when you work, or play or coach here to know what came before us and the behaviours and responsibilities we need to carry through. <\/p>\n
“Munich is the probably biggest part of the history of this club – the tragedy itself and how the team and football club bounced back. Sir Alex mentioned it when I came, it was important to him and to us, and it\u2019s become a way of life for the club. It\u2019s important we carry it on.<\/p>\n
“Being aware of it and around it, you really feel that emotion. Inside the stadium on Saturday we\u2019ll feel it as well.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"‘Munich is the probably biggest part of the history of this club’published at 15:42 GMT 15:42 GMT Man…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":460343,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-460342","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460342","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=460342"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460342\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/460343"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=460342"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=460342"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=460342"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
