Manchester United have revealed plans to honour fans of the club who died in Calabar, Nigeria by wearing black armbands in Sunday's Premier League game against Swansea.

At least seven fans of the club were electrocuted when a high voltage pole fell on the viewing centre where they were watching the club play Europa League game against Anderlecht.

The club revealed the plans via their official Twitter page.

Although the Nigeria league is on mid-season break, organisers LMC have also disclosed that the deceased fans would be honoured during a rescheduled league match between champions Rangers and Kano Pillars in Enugu.
