Manchester United will hold a minute's silence before their upcoming match against Sunderland at Old Trafford to pay tribute to the victims of the recent terror attack at a synagogue in Crumpsall, north Manchester. The match is scheduled for tomorrow. In addition to the minute's silence, the team will wear black armbands as a mark of respect during the Premier League game.

The horrific attack occurred on Thursday when a man drove into a group of people before stabbing worshippers at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue. Two men, Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66, were killed in the attack. The perpetrator, Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, was shot dead by armed police at the scene. Tragically, one of the victims, Melvin Cravitz, suffered a gunshot wound as a result of the police response. Three other people sustained serious injuries and remain in the hospital, one with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim expressed his sympathy for the victims and condemned the attack. "It's a crazy world that we're living in, with a lot of these things," Amorim said. "Of course, our sympathy goes to the victims, and we will pay tribute tomorrow".

On Thursday, Manchester United released a statement on X, expressing the club's condolences. "The thoughts of everyone at Manchester United are with the victims of today's tragic events in north Manchester, and we offer our support to all those affected," the statement read.

The attack has been widely condemned, with many expressing their shock and sorrow. The Al-Shamie family released a statement distancing themselves from the attacker and conveying their condolences to the victims and their families. Rabbi Daniel Walker of Heaton Park Synagogue described the attack as a "desecration" that has "changed us all forever". He also praised the bravery of the security guard and volunteers who risked their lives to protect the synagogue.

Following the attack, Greater Manchester Police have increased their presence in Jewish communities and around synagogues in North Manchester, Bury, and Salford. They have also increased visits to local places of worship.

The Football Association has not mandated a league-wide minute of silence for all Premier League and English Football League fixtures this weekend. However, individual clubs, like Manchester United, are permitted to organize their own tributes. It is also unclear whether there will be a tribute before England's match against Wales next Thursday.
