Manchester United players will be taking part in a new campaign launching on the club’s media channels on Thursday to express their appreciation for the NHS and for healthcare workers fighting coronavirus around the world. Fans will be able to take part by sending their own messages of thanks and nominating a frontline worker for recognition.



Harry Maguire, club captain, who also co-ordinated the United player response to the #PlayersTogether initiative, said: “On behalf of all the players, our thoughts are with all those that have been affected by this terrible virus.



“It has been heart-warming to see the nation come together to show their appreciation to the NHS and other critical workers. By working together we will get through this and let’s hope we are stronger for it.”
