Murphy statue to be unveiled next May
The club announced in May 2021 that it was planning a statue to celebrate Jimmy’s immense contribution at Old Trafford after discussions with a coalition of United supporters and the Murphy family.
The coalition, led by Pat Burns, chair of the Manchester Munich Memorial Foundation, representatives of the Murphy family and the club, visited Edinburgh in November to check on the progress of the statue, which is being created by sculptor Alan Herriot.
Herriot was appointed to design and develop the statue after consultation between the club and the fan coalition.
