Chapecoense take hope from Real lifeline to Man United


SAO PAULO (Reuters) - As Brazilian soccer club Chapecoense look to rebuild from the devastating effects of the air crash that decimated their squad, they can draw hope from the tale of how Manchester United forged an alliance with Real Madrid to recover from a similar disaster.

The fatal crash on Monday in Colombia that killed all but three of Chapecoense's team as they flew to the final of the Sudamericana Cup evoked memories of the 1958 Munich air disaster in which eight Manchester United players died.
