All 76,000 United and Manchester City fans at Sunday's game at Old Trafford were given a scarf in memory of those who died in the Munich air disaster 50 years ago.

Players and fans observe the minute's silence before the Manchester United v Manchester City derby on Sunday

On Monday, some of the scarves were being hawked on auction sites as fans tried to cash in, although eBay have now banned their sale.

A spokesman said: 'Due to the unique and commemorative nature of the scarves, we will not allow the sale of these items on the site.'

Former Busby Babe and crash survivor Albert Scanlon said: 'You don't go to these things to make money.'

Visitors to eBay had been invited to bid up to £150 for scarves and, in what was seen as an attempt to spoil the auction, bidding for a scarf and commemorative programme had reached £15,100.

United secretary Ken Ramsden praised City fans for their observance of the minute's silence.

'Manchester came together and that for us was wonderful,' he said. 'When the City fans left the stadium, they were singing: "We are impeccable" and I couldn't agree more.'
