Man United Fans Urged to Join Liverpool’s 20th‑Minute Jota Tribute at Old Trafford

Backers frame it as a fan-led show of respect across a fierce rivalry.

Overview

  • United supporters, who face Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday, are being urged to join a 20th‑minute applause for Diogo Jota.
  • The proposal was sent to the Manchester United Supporters’ Trust, which asked fans to gauge support, and the club said any tribute should stay fan-led.
  • Reports say some United players have been made aware of the plan as organizers seek a stadium-wide show of respect.
  • The 20th‑minute timing reflects Jota’s shirt number and echoes Liverpool fans’ seventh‑minute tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo at Anfield in 2022.
  • Jota and his brother Andre Silva died in a car crash in northern Spain last July, and Liverpool supporters have marked the 20th minute at matches all season.
