It was an unusual training session for Manchester United ahead of their UEFA Europa League clash against Ajax. Hours after the terrorist attack during an Ariana Grande concert, the club kept on preparing for the crucial matchup in quite a mournful tone.
The players kept a moment of silence prior to the beginning of their training session, as the club cancelled their pre-match press conference. Instead, Jose Mourinho spoke to the club's website and sent a message of support for all the families affected by this tragedy.
Jose Mourinho: "We're all very sad about the tragic events last night; we can't take out of our minds & hearts the victims & their families.

"We have a job to do & will fly to Sweden to do that job. It's a pity we cannot fly with the happiness we always have before a big game.
— Manchester United (@ManUtd) May 23, 2017
"I know, even during my short time here, that the people of Manchester will pull together as one."

No team news about the squad traveling to Stockholm have been released. The team will keep its trip schedule as it was, but there will be severe security measures observed.
Man United players joined their boss in expressing their thoughts on this tragedy.
Devastating news this morning. Thoughts and prayers are with all those affected.
