Man United, Manchester City Pay Tribute to Manchester Synagogue Attack Victims

Manchester United and Manchester City will pay tribute to the victims of the Manchester synagogue attack by wearing black armbands and observing moments of silence before their respective Premier League and Women's Super League matches this weekend. The attack, which occurred during Yom Kippur, resulted in the deaths of two men, Adrian Daulby and Melvin Cravitz, and left three others injured. Manchester United will honor the victims across multiple teams, including their men's, women's, under-18, and under-21 squads, while Manchester City and Brentford have coordinated tributes including a change from a planned minute's applause to silence. The Premier League and English Football League support clubs wishing to pay tribute, though they have moved away from league-wide silences for non-football events. Neighbors and community members have expressed deep sorrow, highlighting the personal impact of the attack and recalling the city's previous solidarity following the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing. Police investigations revealed the attacker was shot dead by armed officers shortly after the assault, with one victim possibly killed by police fire, intensifying the tragedy's complexity.
