Manchester United's official channels came out with the statement following the attack:
"The club's thoughts are with the Jewish community in Manchester following an incident that led to two people losing their lives and three others remaining in hospital with injuries.
In a mark of respect, our men’s, women’s, Under-21s and Under-18s teams will all wear black armbands throughout this weekend’s respective matches.
