Liverpool have given their support to Maira Elizabeth Nari, whose father is the chief steward on the missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370.

The 17-year-old urged her father to come home after informing him via Twitter that his team Liverpool had beaten rivals Manchester United 3-0 at Old Trafford on Sunday.

She wrote: "Daddy, Liverpool is winning the game. Come home, so you can watch the game! You never miss watching the game. It's your very first time. :')."

Liverpool's official Twitter account responded to the teen by tweeting: "Just to let you know that we are thinking of your father & all those still missing from flight #MH370. Be strong. YNWA."

The flight has been missing for 13 days.
