Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo thanked supporters of Liverpool for their display of support in Tuesday’s Premier League meeting between the teams, which the Portuguese player missed due to the death of his newborn son.

Ronaldo and his partner Georgina Rodriguez had announced in October last year they were expecting twins but said on Monday that one of the two babies had died.

In the seventh minute of the match at Anfield, fans gave Ronaldo a standing ovation, with Liverpool fans singing “You’ll Never Walk Alone” as their United counterparts cheered.

Both sets of players wore black armbands onto the pitch, and Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp afterwards hailed the crowd support as the “moment of the game.”

“A single planet… a single sport… a single global family… Thank you very much, Anfield. This moment of respect and care will stay with me and my family forever “Ronaldo took to Instagram to express himself.

United went on to lose 4-0, putting them in sixth place in the table with 54 points from 33 games.

On Saturday, Manchester United will face Arsenal, who announced the appointment of Erik ten Hag as their new manager on Thursday, succeeding interim manager Ralf Rangnick.
