Manchester United have thanked Arsenal fans after the
Gunners supporters showed support for their star forward Cristiano Ronaldo
following the tragic death of his baby son.
Manchester United were defeated 3-1 by Arsenal at the
Emirates on Saturday, and Ronaldo returned to action after missing their 4-0
defeat to Liverpool after the striker and his partner Georgina Rodriguez
announced the death of their baby son.
United and Liverpool fans came together at Anfield on
Tuesday as they held a minute of applause to show support for Ronaldo and his
partner.
Arsenal’s support rose as one in the seventh minute,
Ronaldo’s shirt number, to show their support.
United acknowledged the gesture on Twitter with a message
which read: “A classy gesture from Arsenal supporters, with applause for
@Cristiano in the seventh minute.”
The Gunners went two goals up, thanks to Nuno Tavares and
Bukayo Saka, before Cristiano Ronaldo made it 2-1.
Ronaldo thought he had made it 2-2 in the second half but
his overhead kick was ruled out for offside.
Granit Xhaka then drilled in a late effort to make it 3-1
after Bruno Fernandes missed a golden opportunity from the spot kick.
