Manchester United must use the emotions they are feeling after the death of Bobby Charlton "in the right way", manager Erik ten Hag said on Monday, adding that he hoped his team could draw inspiration from the standards set by the England great.
Charlton, who was a key figure in England's 1966 World Cup-winning team, died at the age of 86 on Saturday. He helped United win the European Cup in 1968 and three English league titles as well as the FA Cup.
"Bobby was a legend - a giant not only for Manchester United, but for football. So his legacy, what he left were the standards, the high standards. We have to live it every day," Ten Hag told reporters ahead of Tuesday's home game against FC Copenhagen.
"(His statue) is in front of Old Trafford, with Denis Law and George Best. He is always with us and they are always a huge inspiration for us, every day and for every game."
