Desperately sad news. Cancer can take a life so quickly at the end, giving no time to accept the dreadful reality until after your loved one has passed. I hope he and his children have all the support they need at this awful time.

It sounds like it was all a bit sudden. There can't be much worse that could happen to a family. RIP

My heart goes out to Rio and the family

Terrible news, was anyone actually aware she had cancer?

R.I.P. I'd imagine he will retire and spend a lot of time with his kids now.

Poor Rio, terrible news. Can't even begin to imagine what he's going through this morning.

I'm sure the football world will rally around him and I'd like to think United will do their bit for one hell of a servant.

It's odd that he has been tweeting and doing media as normal right up to yesterday. Never had a clue his wife was on her deathbed
He's been doing a lot less tweeting though, hasn't he?

Poor guy and poor kids.

RIP very sad news. Must admit I didn't realise she had been ill. Thoughts from us all I'm sure will go out to Rio.

It's certainly not a scientific study by any stretch of the imagination, but this has been fairly common with people I know who have had loved ones battling illness. I can only assume that it is/was an attempt to cling to some sort of normality while another big area of their life is anything but normal.

Very sorry to hear this.
I thought that breast cancer was easily curable, in this day and age.
Apparently she died soon after she was diagnosed.
She leaves behind 3 kids and a husband. All at the age of 34.
RIP.

Can't fathom how terrible it must be for him, I couldn't be able to stand losing my long-time girlfriend in such a fashion. RIP and all the best to Rio and the children.
