Manchester United have lit up the letters ‘NHS’ in the front of the stand at Old Trafford.
A popular tourist spot to take pictures will look very different tonight as the stand will be lit up in blue colours to show the club’s support for the NHS.
This comes after United have been praised highly for the way they have approached this global pandemic.

The stand will be lit up in the colour blue at 20:00 GMT to coincide with the nation’s ‘clap for the carers’.
United will continue their support through this difficult time. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and players shared their thoughts on the situation.
United have also stated that they will not furlough any non-playing staff as other teams have done.
Tottenham Hotspur are the latest to reverse their decision on furloughing non-playing staff.
