Police have charged a 17-year-old boy after offensive chants about the death of Sir Bobby Charlton were heard at a Manchester City home game.
The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has been bailed on the condition he does not attend any regulated football matches. He has been charged with a public order offence and is due to appear at Manchester and Salford Magistrates' Youth Court on Monday November 13. Officers added that a 14-year-old boy, who was voluntarily interviewed in connection with the incident, will be 'dealt with out of court'.
City manager Pep Guardiola condemned the chanting during a news conference on Friday, saying: 'They don't represent us. Alcohol makes bad things in people. ' Mike Summerbee went to Old Trafford to sign the book , he represents us.' Guardiola added: 'We have huge respect for Manchester United, especially for the icon of Sir Bobby Charlton. We will be part of the condolences, to Man Utd and English football.
