Nice to see them take some time out to visit. Hopefully they can do them proud tomorrow.
Players visit Munich memorial site
- Thread starter Eric'sCollar
- Start date
Is it just me who finds it disrespectful that they're all standing around with their hands in their pockets?
Anyway, hope they do them proud tomorrow.

Very good by the lads. Here's to hoping for a great performance
How long before someone notices the headphones on Nani's shoulders and slags him off?

When I go to funerals, I always put my hands in the pockets. I just get very fidgety
who are those kids
Touching pics, gave me a bit of a shiver.
You'd never know with United, stranger things have happened.

Travelling fans.
Just United fans going to the game tomorrow I should imagine.
I don't really. If I did find anything disrespectful in that photo, its the fact Nani has his headphones out around his neck. But that's just being a little pedantic.
Will be great if this could spur the team on even more for tomorrow now.
Hernandez gets there first, but he has handled it diplomatically.
That's class!
Smart move from Moyes. Helps win some support, and inspires the players for tomorrow night.
Great gesture. Hope it really gets them up for tomorrow.
On a side note, does Steve Round always have that confused look on his face?

Great gesture. Expected the memorial to be bigger.
Btw, where is Mata?

Probably a bit overboard if serious but the point is valid to some degree. Pedantic though as someone mentioned.
Great gesture.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think he's travelled to Munich.
He probably didn't fly over as he can't play? Would be my guess.

Nani's headphones are definitely tactless but I highly doubt that were his intentions, be fair now.
And regarding the 'hands in pockets', as someone mentioned, it seems like a sort of fidgety thing. It must be very uncomfortable for the players; how are they meant to stand in such a scenario? I certainly wouldn't know. I'm sure the players are trying to show their respects and acknowledge the atrocities that occured, but in such a delicate scenario, I think it's hard to get your true feelings across.

I feel bad for saying this considering what the photos are for, but Jones does if again in that first picture. The lad just can't help himself 
Get your eyes off him! He is ours!
Don't worry, there's no danger of me scouting any of the rest of your players in that regard
I don't think it's at all pedantic. Extremely disrespectful and just suggests he doesn't really grasp the significance of where he is - and even worse, if he does, he isn't really bothered. If I was the manager I'd give him a right bollocking and make sure he fully understood about the Munich tragedy.
There's not a chance Nani would have headphones around his neck if SAF was there. It's not that big a deal though, just a bit immature from him IMO.
Hope it gives the players some extra motivation against Bayern.
Headphones around the neck is hardly a sign of disrespect. Using them would be.

If he had music on fair enough, but it's just a pair of headphones. I bet Cleverley hasn't got his phone on silent either, bastard.
Just gives the impression he can't wait to move on and get on with other things as opposed to taking the time to actually pay his respects and reflect on the tragedy.
While I don't expect them to be bawling their eyes out or anything, they all kind of look like they have something better they'd rather be doing. Maybe it's just me.
Exactly, bunch of drama queens here.
They're not even over his ears. Plus he's been there before.
Indeed. If he had them on and was bobbing his head to some music there'd be an issue.
I remember a Liverpool player dicking about at a Hillsborough benefit. That was disrespectful, Nani not listening to his headphones is not.
You should write novels. From a picture, you've created a story.
Actually, looking at those first three pics (nice quality by the way, I always wondered what the camera was like on a Nintento DS) I am pretty sure Moyes stole that bouquet of flowers. It's there in the first pic, he's picking it up in the second and it's gone in the third.
It's not really easy to judge what's running through people's heads by looking at a photo. In fact, I heard that emotion is one of the hardest things to capture in photography.
That was pure cringe. Obviously he never played for them again after that.
I felt the Itandje fuss was overblown.
They should arrange another visit after the game but those who didn't give their all should not show their faces.
Smalling looks like he's gonna hit someone in that first photo.
Imagining him being so angry and then hearing his voice is a strange mix.
