Manchester United beat Sheffield United 2-1 on Saturday on an emotionally charged evening as the Premier League giants said a "big goodbye" to club great Bobby Charlton, who died earlier in the day.

Charlton's family announced that the England World Cup winner, who enjoyed a glittering career with United, had "passed peacefully in the early hours of Saturday morning" at the age of 86.

Tributes poured in from across the football world, with former United player and England captain David Beckham praising Charlton as a "national hero".
