'I don't want to be here. I want to be at home' - Mark Chapman’s tribute to Manchester

Mark Chapman pays an emotional tribute to his home city of Manchester.

Speaking during the build-up to the Europa League final between Manchester United and Ajax, live from the Friends Arena in Stockholm, Chapman openly expressed how difficult it was to focus on football so soon after 22 people were killed in an attack at Manchester Arena.

The 5 live Sport presenter said: "I don't massively want to be here. I want to be at home, cuddling my kids and telling them that we'll go to the Arena again to a gig, and we'll sing and we'll dance but we will never forget the victims of Monday night.”
