Maas said that over 400 anti-Semitic incidents were recorded in Berlin alone over six months last year. It does not surprise me that almost every second Jew in Germany has al...

But the game will perhaps be as memorable for the actions of United's supporters in the stands just as much as the players on the pitch after their support vocally campaigned for changes in the club's leadership throughout the ...
