Ferguson: 'Munich anniversary will inspire Reds'

Alex Ferguson believes this week’s 50th anniversary of the Munich disaster will provide an extra motivation to his players in Sunday’s Manchester derby at Old Trafford.

A minute’s silence will be held before the match between the two Manchester clubs, the climax of a series of events to mark the air crash in which 23 people died, and Ferguson said the past week and a service on Wednesday had reinforced the “greatness” of the club.
