A moment's silence has just been observed for the six students who died recently when a balcony collapsed in Berkeley, California.

One player who arguably had more of a personal interest in the tragic events that unfolded was Man Utd newboy Bastian Schweinsteiger.
You may recall that Dublin student Niccolai Schuster, one of the 6 students that sadly lost their lives, was a huge fan of the World Cup winner and he even had a photo of him posing alongside the former Bayern Munich man as his Facebook profile image.
When Schweinsteiger heard about this, he took to social media to express his deepest sympathy that one of his fans was no longer with us and the German has paid another touching tribute to his fan.
Schweinsteiger used the occasion last night to pose for this moving photo. A wonderful gesture.
