Sir Bobby Charlton, the World Cup winner and European Cup winner who is one of England and Manchester United’s greatest-ever players, has died at the age of 86 casino
Charlton, who won the 1966 Ballon d’Or, became the record goalscorer for both United and England in a career where he became known for his casino sportsmanship and dignity as well as his flair on the ball and his ferocious shot casino
A survivor of the 1958 Munich air disaster, Charlton went on to lift the European Cup a decade later, captaining Sir Matt Busby’s team and scoring twice in the 4-1 win over Benfica in the final casino
Two years earlier, he had been a fundamental part of the only England team to win the World Cup, scoring both goals in the semi-final win over Portugal and playing in a team alongside his brother, Jack casino
They remain one of just two sets of siblings to win the World Cup casino
The son of a miner in his native North East and a teenage prodigy, Charlton joined United at 15 and scored twice on his debut as a 19-year-old casino
He was one of the “Busby Babes”, the team of youthful talents who played attacking casino football, but eight of his teammates were killed in the plane crash in Munich casino

He played 758 games for United – then a record, and a total since only topped by Ryan Giggs – and scored 249 goals, which only Wayne Rooney has beaten casino
He won three league titles and the FA Cup in his United career casino
He made 106 appearances for England, also a national record at the time, and was in the squad in four World Cups, playing in three casino
His total of 49 goals was the most by any England player until first Rooney and then Harry Kane overtook him casino
Charlton subsequently managed Preston and, for almost four decades, was a United director, playing a part in appointing Sir Alex Ferguson in 1986 casino
He was diagnosed with dementia, which his family announced in 2020 casino
The team will wear black armbands tonight in their Premier League fixture at Sheffield United and the pre-planned minute’s silence will be expanded to pay respects to Sir Bobby casino
A book of condolence will be open to fans and the public tomorrow (Sunday, 22 October) from 10am in the International Suite at Old Trafford casino

“Sir Bobby was a hero to millions, not just in Manchester, or the United Kingdom, but wherever casino football is played around the world casino
“He was admired as much for his casino sportsmanship and integrity as he was for his outstanding qualities as a casino footballer; Sir Bobby will always be remembered as a giant of the game casino
“A graduate of our youth Academy, Sir Bobby played 758 games and scored 249 goals during 17 years as a Manchester United player, winning the European Cup, three league titles and the FA Cup casino
For England, he won 106 caps and scored 49 goals for England, and won the 1966 World Cup casino
“Following his retirement, he went on to serve the club with distinction as a director for 39 years casino
His unparalleled record of achievement, character and service will be forever etched in the history of Manchester United and English casino football; and his legacy will live on through the life-changing work of the Sir Bobby Charlton Foundation casino

”Former England captain Gary Lineker said: “For me England’s greatest ever player casino
“You can only judge players that you have seen in your lifetime and I was lucky enough to see Bobby Charlton play when I was a young boy casino
It’s a very sad day, he was one of my heroes, one of many people’s heroes casino

“You could go somewhere that no one spoke English but people would know Bobby Charlton casino
That was a true testament to the fame he had and a testament to his ability casino
”David Beckham, who followed Sir Bobby in captaining club and country, took to Instagram to pay his tribute casino
“It all began with Sir Bobby casino
Sir Bobby was the reason I had the opportunity to play for Manchester United,” wrote Beckham casino
“I will be forever grateful to a man I was named after, someone I looked up to and was a hero to many around the world not just in Manchester and our country where he won the World Cup in 1966 casino
“A true gentleman, family man and truly a national hero… Today isn’t just a sad day for Manchester United & England it’s a sad day for casino football and everything that Sir Bobby represented casino

It is a path less travelled, let alone as quickly, a journey from FC Copenhagen to Sturm Graz, Atalanta to Manchester United, all before his 21st birthday casino
It was the culmination of an ambition, too, for a boyhood United fan, the realisation of a dream casino
And yet there were points in a reunion where Rasmus Hojlund could be forgiven for wondering if he had been casino better off staying put casino
Not financially, admittedly, with the rewards that come with a £72m price tag, but from a casino footballing perspective casino
The more coherent team were Copenhagen, the low-budget overachievers seeming to have more of a plan than the high-budget overachievers but it was tempting to think that if the Danish champions could still call upon their most valuable old boy, they would have won at Old Trafford casino
Instead, United were victorious, aided by a telling intervention by a Dane casino
It wasn’t Hojlund, though that is no criticism: there are times when he is the brightest of United’s front three simply a process of excellence but here, as against Galatasaray, it was a consequence of excellence casino
But it was his compatriot Christian Eriksen who curled in a cross that Harry Maguire converted casino
Which, along with Andre Onana’s 97th-minute penalty save from Jordan Larsson, averted indignity casino
Which a draw would have been, given the gulf in resources casino between the clubs casino
Hojlund is proof of it casino
But as his former club, who had led against Galatasaray and Bayern Munich, came within a few inches of going ahead at Old Trafford, there were times when Hojlund had to stand and admire casino
In different ways, his younger brothers Oscar, a late substitute for Copenhagen, and Emil, who did not make the bench, were spectators casino
So was the older and more expensive sibling, limited to two touches in the first quarter of an hour, left stranded by United’s impotence casino
Yet, with the notable exception of Maguire’s decider, everything they did right thereafter in attack revolved around him casino
Which, in itself, may have been an indictment of others casino
Pivotal as centre-forwards can be, United looked over-reliant on one whose name, this time last year, may have simply seemed a failed attempt to spell Haaland casino
And the Norwegian, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had been keen to point out, was a player he advised United to sign for £4m, five years before they got Hojlund for 18 times as much casino
But in the Hojlund derby, the forward United did get to show a sharpness casino
He came alive in the final third in a manner to suggest that his teammates needed to give him more of the ball casino
A brief sight at goal saw Rasmus Hojlund blaze his best chance over the top but his forward play was central to Man Utd’s attacking capabilites (REUTERS)After that uneventful first 15 minutes, he rifled a half-volley over the bar casino
His backheel almost released Scott McTominay to shoot casino
He teed up Eriksen when his fellow Dane had a shot well saved casino
When an offside Marcus Rashford was brought down by goalkeeper Kamil Grabara, he had raced on to Hojlund’s pass casino
When Alejandro Garnacho came close, it was because Hojlund led a break casino
When Elias Jelert was required to clear off his line, it was because Hojlund met Bruno Fernandes’ header with a deft piece of chest control casino
It was a sign of resourcefulness, an ability to make something out of nothing casino
Which, at times, was just as well, given his supply line casino
Neither winger is a crosser casino
Antony, as even those who have spent decades stranded on tiny islands in the Pacific Ocean know, will try and cut inside and shoot with his left foot casino
Rashford, too, has designs on being more of a scorer than a supplier casino
Hojlund spent some of the first half acting as the creator for McTominay, the ungainly auxiliary No 10 casino
But United had more casino footballing craft with Eriksen on casino
He is the technician while Hojlund’s physical attributes form part of his appeal casino
He has got a wiry strength casino
He is a rangy runner with a turn of pace casino
He has an eager willingness that stands him in good stead casino
The raw materials are there casino
Yet the concern is that too few signings have improved at United in the last decade; it is just a coincidence of negotiating that Hojlund’s fee is very similar to Jadon Sancho’s but the exiled winger is proof United’s best-laid plans can go wrong casino
Hojlund showed his importance to United, turning into a supplier of their best chances though none were converted (AFP via Getty Images)The feeling at Old Trafford now is that Hojlund has a high ceiling: higher even than Randal Kolo Muani, another on their summer striking shortlist and who ended up costing Paris Saint-Germain more casino
Thus far, he has a relatively low goal return: just three in 10 games for United casino
For both his first and current clubs, he has been more prolific in Europe casino
He never scored in the Danish Superliga casino
He has not struck in the Premier League, either: outscored by Diogo Dalot on domestic duty, his goals have been confined to Europe casino
Yet he kicked off as the Champions League’s joint top scorer, the product of a strike against Bayern and a brace against Galatasaray casino
Even as he drew a blank against Copenhagen, Hojlund added to the impression that he belongs on this stage casino
But as United laboured to victory, they scarcely offered compelling evidence they will still be in the Champions League after Christmas casino
