On May 22, the UK's largest industrial city witnessed a terrible tragedy. A deadly bombing outside the Manchester Arena took the lives of 22 people and injured dozens others.
In the latest interview in England before leaving for Sweden, coach Jose Mourinho vowed to bring the Europa League title to the city after the recent tragedy
"The whole team is very sad about what happened, we cannot stop thinking about what is coming to the relatives and families of the unfortunate victims.
Although M.U is very sad, in the current context, we need to focus on the final match. I know for sure that no one in the whole team will feel happy when taking a flight to Sweden tonight.
We will bring the title to this city. I know I've not been here long, but for now, all the Manchester people will stand side by side with the team. We will end up as a great team," Mourinho shared.
After the terrible disaster in Manchester 2 days ago, security work for the Europa League Final is being pushed forward more than ever. There will be 1,000 - 1,250 police and officers present to ensure the safety of this big match. This vigilance is necessary because also in Stockholm five months ago, a terrorist drove a car and crashed into everything on the street, killing five people.
On the other side of the front line, Ajax coach Peter Bosz also shared his deep sympathy for what has just happened to the people of Manchester:
"We are all sensitive to what happened in Manchester. We would like to express our most sincere sharing with those who have passed away and with what the people of Manchester have suffered after the tragedy".
The Europa League final between M.U and Ajax will take place at 1:45 a.m. on May 25 and Vietnamese audiences will not be able to watch live because VTVcab has had its broadcasting rights cut due to copyright issues.
