Manchester United to name Old Trafford stand after Bobby Charlton

by Afp

Manchester United are to name Old Trafford’s South Stand, which contains the only original part of the 1910 stadium infrastructure, after club legend Bobby Charlton.

Charlton joined United as an apprentice in 1953 and made his debut in October 1956. He went on to make 758 appearances for the Club, scoring a club record 249 goals.

The 78-year-old, who is a Manchester United director, also held the England goalscoring record, with 49 in his 106 appearances, until current United captain Wayne Rooney broke the record against Switzerland in September 2015.

The unveiling of the new name will take place at the Premier League home game against Everton on April 2.
