However uproar has flared on social media after people were found to be trying to make a profit on these items by selling the memorabilia on eBay.

On eBay there is about two pages worth of the items available to buy at a range of prices.
One Twitter user said: ‘Seen there’s some “fans” selling the Munich Air Disaster free mementos the club left strapped to seats on eBay. Scum.. how you can call yourself a fan is beyond me! Sums up modern football.’
Another user wrote: ‘Hope United ban anybody selling their free Munich programme and book from Saturday.’
United are holding a commemorative service for the Munich Air Disaster on Tuesday at Old Trafford at 2pm.
