The British European Airways (BEA) plane caught fire shortly after take off this afternoon with 38 passengers and six crew on board.
The footballing world is reeling from the loss of some of its most talented young players - known as the Busby Babes.
Their average age was 24 and they included Roger Byrne - the captain - Mark Jones, Eddie Colman, Tommy Taylor, Liam Whelan, David Pegg and Geoff Bent.
Queen 'deeply shocked'
Eight British sports journalists and several club officials have also been killed.
The Queen has said she is "deeply shocked" and has sent a message of condolence to the Lord Mayor of Manchester and Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation.
The chartered aircraft was bringing the Manchester United entourage back from a European Cup match against Red Star Belgrade in Yugoslavia and had stopped at Munich's Riem Airport to refuel.
On the third attempt to take off the plane over-shot the runway, hit a house with its port wing, veered to the right, hit another building and burst into flames.
The fuselage did not catch fire and several crew and passengers went back into the wreckage to rescue the injured.
Team manager Matt Busby was described as being the most seriously hurt and is being given blood transfusions in hospital.
Star striker Bobby Charlton has been treated for slight head injuries.
According to the Chief Executive of BEA, A. H. Milward, there was a heavy snowstorm in Munich and the pilot delayed departure because he was dissatisfied with one of the plane's engines.
This was the first fatal accident for this type of BEA aeroplane, which has carried 2,340,000 passengers on 86,000 flights since it began service in 1952.
The same plane - called Lord Burghley - took the Manchester United entourage out to Belgrade on Monday.
