A Manchester United fan has died after collapsing at Monday’s game against West Ham.
Goals from Juan Mata and Zlatan Ibrahimovic helped the visitors overcome the Hammers and made sure Jose Mourinho’s team recorded a six-game winning streak.
However, that victory was sadly marred by the demise of a supporter who slumped during the encounter in London.
Both clubs confirmed the death of the fan on Tuesday.
Everyone at Manchester United is deeply saddened following news one of our fans passed away after collapsing at yesterday’s game v West Ham.
