MANCHESTER, England — A lone piper playing the tune to the Manchester United anthem "We'll Never Die" has provided a moving soundtrack inside Old Trafford to the latest tributes to club great Bobby Charlton following his death at the age of 86. The piper led out United manager Erik ten Hag, Charlton's former teammate Alex Stepney, and United youth-team captain Dan Gore onto the field ahead of United's Champions League match against FC Copenhagen. They laid a wreath in the center circle ahead of an impeccably observed minute's silence. Another rendition of "There's only one Bobby Charlton" then swirled around the stadium to applause as fans paid their respects to one of England's World Cup winners from 1966.
