Manchester United’s team marched out with two young mascots at Old Trafford on Sunday, paying tribute to a local police officer who died in a tragic crash. The two boys, sons of PC Matthew Blades, led the team as part of a heartfelt gesture from the club. PC Blades, a dedicated officer known as a “proud Red,” was killed in a wrong-way crash on the A66. His widow and children will attend the match against Ipswich, with the club honoring his legacy in the matchday programme. The event marks a poignant moment for the community, as the team’s tribute highlights the officer’s connection to the club and his role as a local hero.
