Manchester United and forward Matheus Cunha have shaken the football world after officially calling on all clubs worldwide to observe a minute of silence before every match in honor of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated during a college event in Utah (USA).
In a statement released shortly after training at Carrington, Cunha emphasized:
“Football is not just a sport, it’s a way to connect people and share grief. We want to send our deepest condolences to the family and everyone who loved Charlie Kirk.”
A Wave of Solidarity Beyond Borders
The message from Manchester United and Cunha quickly spread across major leagues. Clubs in the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, and even teams in Asia voiced their support for this action.
Fans on social media also united under the hashtag #MinuteForCharlie, making it a global trend within hours.
A Movement Beyond Football
Analysts believe Manchester United’s call is not only about remembrance but also reflects humanity and solidarity in the face of tragedy. Some experts suggest this initiative could become a “new symbol of unity between sports and society” this year.
At a time when the world is watching, Manchester United and Matheus Cunha have proven that football has the power to transcend the pitch — becoming a voice of unity and compassion.
