Manchester United lay tribute to Diogo Jota and Andre Silva in Anfield visit

Tributes for Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva

Manchester United have become the latest Premier League club to visit the Anfieldmemorial for Diogo Jota and Andre Silva to pay their respects.

Jota and his brother Silva died in a car crash earlier this month as they were travelling across Spain to catch a ferry to the United Kingdom ahead of the start of Liverpool's pre-season.

Anfield has become a site of remembrance with thousands of tributes being laid outside the stadium by supporters, Reds players and staff along with the general public.

And with Everton having already paid their respects, on Monday afternoon it was the turn of Manchester United to do likewise.

Flowers were laid by United manager Ruben Amorim, captain Bruno Fernandes and defender Diogo Dalot, who are each compatriots of Portuguese duo Jota and Silva.

Meanwhile, Jota's former club Wolves have announced they are planning special tributes at their next two home games.

Similar to Anfield, the area outside Molineux has been transformed into a memorial to both Jota and his brother, although Wolves announced on Monday they will be clearing the area to preserve items given imminent poor weather in the Midlands.

"All non-perishable items will be carefully stored and will be retained for potential inclusion in a more permanent memorial, which the club is now exploring as a lasting way to honour Diogo and Andre," read a club statement.

"Floral tributes will also be gathered and will be turned into coloured ink, which can then be used as part of a bespoke artwork or tribute.

Further details will be shared once plans are confirmed.

“Diogo and Andre’s passing will also be marked at two of Wolves’ upcoming home fixtures - the final home friendly against Celta Vigo and opening Premier League match against Manchester City.

"The club is working closely with supporters to ensure both tributes are fitting of Diogo’s legacy at Wolves, with the main commemorations planned for the Man City fixture."
