Tributes have been paid to a life-long Manchester United fan who has died aged 56 after a long struggle with mental health issues.
Sean Bray, who grew up and lived in Leicester, started supporting the Red Devils despite their year in the old Second Division in the mid-70s. His dad, David, would take him to Filbert Street, Leicester City's old ground, whenever United were in town.

Sean passed away suddenly on February 5 after a long battle with mental health leaving behind his parents and Ryan. His funeral was held on February 24, with Sean's dedication to United a key theme of the service.
