Manchester United have agreed to create a permanent tribute to Sir Matt Busby's former assistant and one of the club's greatest coaches, Jimmy Murphy. Murphy joined the club's staff as Sir Matt Busby's first signing in 1946 and performed a number of roles across four decades.

Murphy left his role as assistant manager in 1971 before becoming a scout for the club. Meanwhile, Manchester United are also subsidising the official trip for fans to Gdansk for the Europa League final by paying out £200 per fan.
