Manchester City has officially condemned the chants against Bobby Charlton and apologized to the family and the fans of Sir Bobby Charlton after the match against Brighton.
“The club condemns these chants in the strongest terms, and apologizes unreservedly to the family and friends of Sir Bobby, and to all those at Manchester United,” the club said in a statement to Sky Sports News.
“On this day of all days, when the stadium stood to pay tribute to our own legend in Francis Lee, Manchester City supporters should understand and appreciate as keenly as anyone the need for respect in our game.”
This reaction came soon after the game against Brighton, the game which City won to keep the rhythm in these first matches.
