Mata dedicates United win to Munich victims

London: Manchester United star Juan Mata dedicated his side’s 2-0 victory against Huddersfield to the victims of the Munich disaster and their families.

Tuesday is the 60th anniversary of the air disaster that killed 23 people, including eight of United’s famous Busby Babes team, as the club made their way back from a European Cup tie at Red Star Belgrade.

United and Huddersfield players paid tribute to the victims of the 1958 plane crash with one minute’s silence ahead of Saturday’s Premier League match against Huddersfield at Old Trafford.

“Obviously it was a special game, a very sad memory,” Spain midfielder Mata said.
