PLACE IN OUR HEARTS

BRUNO FERNANDES has told his Manchester United team-mates that they must pay their respects to the tragic Busby Babes EVERY time they play.

Manager Erik ten Hag will lay a wreath to commemorate the 66th anniversary of the air crash that wiped out Sir Matt Busby's brilliant team ahead of today's clash with West Ham - and captain Fernandes will represent the squad at an Old Trafford ceremony on Tuesday.

Fernandes has been a regular visitor to the club's museum to learn more about the team that died on the ice-bound runway of the Munich-Riem Airport - and the way Busby rebuilt the club to become European champions a decade later.
