Manchester United assistant coach Steve McClaren was emotional on the away bench last night.

The match was played out in the wake of Sir Bobby Charlton's passing.

McClaren knew Charlton well and was visibly emotional before kickoff as both teams and sets of supporters paid tribute.

Ahead of kick-off in South Yorkshire, manager Erik ten Hag told MUTV: "Our thoughts are, of course, with his family and, of course, his wife. The whole world is losing a big personality, a legend, a giant.

"He was it on the pitch, but definitely also off the pitch."
