In a rare and emotional moment, Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag has called on the entire Red Devils community to observe a minute of silence in memory of Charlie Kirk, the Turning Point USA founder who tragically lost his life at the age of 31.
Speaking with tears in his eyes, Ten Hag said: “It is heartbreaking to see America lose such an important voice. My deepest condolences go out to his family and loved ones. This is not only their loss, but also a reminder that we must come together, respect one another, and protect the values that matter most.”
Kirk, remembered as a husband and father of two, has left behind a legacy that touched millions across the globe. Moved by the tragedy, Ten Hag added: “I am a father myself, and I understand that emptiness. No words can fill that void, but solidarity can help us heal.”
The Manchester United coach went even further, announcing a special gesture of support dedicated to Kirk’s two young children, underscoring the bond of humanity that transcends sports, politics, and borders.
Ten Hag’s heartfelt tribute has resonated deeply, not only with Manchester United fans but also with football supporters worldwide — proving once again that the power of sport goes far beyond the pitch.
