Tribute in Black and White Manchester United has been making headlines with its tribute to PC Matthew Blades, a "proud Red" who died in a car crash on Teesside.
The club's gesture acknowledges PC Blades' dedication to helping others, but it also raises questions about the relationship between football clubs and their communities.
The connection between PC Blades and Manchester United is well documented: he regularly attended Old Trafford games with his family, and his children will lead out the team as mascots on Sunday.
