“It is the greatest pain that any parents can feel. Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness.
“We would like to thank the doctors and nurses for all their expert care and support. We are all devastated at this loss and we kindly ask for privacy at this very difficult time. Our baby boy, you are our angel. We will always love you.”
The saddening announcement was also shared by Manchester United’s official Twitter page.

“Our hearts are full of love – we can’t wait to meet you.”
Rodríguez also took to the social media platform and described her partner as the ‘best dad’.
She wrote: “Every day by your side is happy and special.
“We love you indefinitely. Thank you so much to the best dad in the world.”
