Bruno Fernandes says it's important Manchester United continue to mark the Munich air disaster... with the Red Devils set to pay their respects ahead of their West Ham clash

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has pledged to keep the memory of the Busby Babes alive.

Sunday's visit of West Ham is the closest fixture to the 66th anniversary of the Munich air disaster on February 6, which claimed 23 lives, including eight players.

It is also the first time without Sir Bobby Charlton, who was injured in the crash, following his death last year.

Fernandes said: 'We know the demands of playing for Manchester United. It's a legacy which is in the club.

'It's a responsibility for everyone: managers, players, everyone involved in the staff to play in a certain way.
