Ukrainian flags were also waved among the crowd at Old Trafford as a show of support for the beleaguered nation.
On Friday, United announced they had terminated a deal with Russia’s flagship airline Aeroflot following President Vladimir Putin’s actions, which have been met with heavy international sanctions.
