    Football fans made the banner to go on display at the Europa League final

    "Manchester - a City United - #prayformanchester" were the words on a 17-metre banner on show at the Europa League final in Stockholm.

    It's a message fans wanted the world to see at the match between Manchester United and Ajax.

    But "this is not just a Manchester United tragedy", Andrew Kilduff, the man behind the sign, told Newsbeat in Stockholm.

    "With the events that went on in Manchester this week, we felt we had to get this special banner made," he says.

    "I went to bed on Monday night seeing what was unfolding and when I woke up on Tuesday morning and I read the death toll and the injuries I quickly thought, 'OK we are in a final in Stockholm - can we get a message of support out there?'"

    A resident of a block of flats in Blackley, Manchester, where searches and an arrest have taken place tonight, has described seeing a woman being taken away by police.

    The neighbour said that just after 18:30 he heard a large bang which shook the building, followed by the sound of sirens and the sight of armed police outside his window.

    The man, speaking anonymously, said there was a further loud noise before the arrested woman - described as wearing a jumper and jeans - was then led away about 20 minutes later.

    Six people have now been arrested in the UK by police investigating the Manchester Arena bombing.
