I just wanted to send this farewell message to all Manchester United supporters.
I would like to express my unwavering gratitude and appreciation for the love from the last 12 years. We’ve achieved a lot since my dear Sir Alex Ferguson brought me to this club. I took incredible pride everytime I pulled on this shirt, to lead the team, to represent this institution, the biggest club in the world was an honour only bestows upon a few lucky footballers.
It’s been an unforgettable and successful period since I came here. I didn’t think from leaving Madrid as a young boy we would achieve what we did together.
Now, it’s the right time to undertake a new challenge, to push myself again in new surroundings.
Manchester will always be in my heart, Manchester has shaped me and will never leave me.
We’ve seen it all. 🤘🏼❤️
If Manchester United are ever going to return to former glories they need new owners who will clear all the debt loaded onto the club to finance Glazers takeover in 2005. United are a football club, not a cashpoint for banks. Being owned by Glazers has cost United more than £1bn
Thank you all for this first great season and above all for your love towards my family and towards me. I feel at home. I read you and I hear everyone say that Manchester United is back, but this is only the beginning of our journey. The greatness of this club and this shield must force us to demand more of ourselves. Much more. Here defeat is not aceptable and the glory days must return. For that I have come. Come on United!!
