From all the players, staff and everyone involved in the club, to you guys who supported us every single day of the season.
Grateful for your love and support ❤️
🚨 Michael Carrick on fielding a strong team vs Brighton:
🗣️ Reporter:
“There’s nothing left to play for. A lot of people were surprised by such a strong lineup.”
🗣️ Carrick:
“And that mentality right there is exactly why some clubs never become elite. What do you mean there’s nothing to play for?
This is Manchester United. Since when did we start celebrating third place like it’s a trophy? If I can score 10 against Brighton, I will. Happily.
Not because I hate them… but because we don’t relax here.
Even at 3-0, you go for the fourth. Then the fifth. Then the sixth. We’ve picked up the most points in the league since I took charge… and I don’t plan on dropping that standard. Next season, people will understand what we’re building.”
🚨Thierry Henry on Cristiano Ronaldo tears after winning the Saudi Pro League:
🗣️ “ People see Cristiano Ronaldo crying after winning the Saudi Pro League and some laugh because of where he is playing now. But for me, that moment explains exactly why he became one of the greatest athletes we have ever seen.
This is a player who has already conquered football. Champions Leagues, Ballon d’Ors, league titles in England, Spain and Italy, international trophies with Portugal… there is literally nothing left for him to prove to anyone.
Yet at 41 years old, he is still celebrating victories with the same emotion, the same fire and the same obsession he had when he was a teenager at Sporting Lisbon. That is not normal. Most players lose that hunger after winning one or two major trophies. Cristiano never lost it.
People always talk about talent, but mentality is what truly separates legends from great players. Cristiano trained like every season was his last chance. He treated every game like it mattered. That is why he stayed at the top for almost 20 years while generations of players came and disappeared.
To still have that level of passion at his age, after everything he has achieved, is honestly unbelievable. It tells young players that greatness is not only about ability, it is about sacrifice, discipline, consistency and refusing to ever become comfortable.
You can love him or hate him, but you have to respect that mentality. Football may never see another competitor like Cristiano Ronaldo again...”
Alex Ferguson 🗣️:
“I was 33 years old, and a young boy came to my office on a Tuesday and said, ‘Boss, can I have Friday off?’
And I said, ‘Why do you want Friday off?’
He said, ‘My mother has died.’
You’re beaten. What can you do?
And I went, ‘Oh, of course, son.’
From that moment on, if a player came to me and said, ‘I want tomorrow off,’ I said yes.
In the case of Cristiano Ronaldo, I knew his father was ill. I knew he was in the hospital, and it was important for him to be there. It didn’t matter about the football club. Some things are bigger than the football club, and family is definitely one of them, without question.
You should never, ever put a club before your family.”
🚨 Paul Pogba on Cristiano Ronaldo during his darkest period :
“When the suspension news came out, my phone was full for two days… then suddenly, silence. People I thought were brothers disappeared. Agents stopped calling. Friends became busy. Football can make you feel loved… but it can also show you who’s real.”
“But one name I didn’t expect to hear from was Cristiano.”
“He didn’t call me to talk about football, training, or headlines. He asked me one thing… ‘How is your family? Are you okay mentally?’ That hit me differently.”
“A few days later he told me, ‘If you need anything anything for your family, your recovery, your life call me. Pride should never stop you from accepting help.’”
“At that moment, I wasn’t talking to Cristiano Ronaldo the superstar… I was talking to a man who understood pain, pressure, and loneliness.”
“I’ve played with champions before… but in hard times, you discover who the real ones are.”
Darren England gives all the 50/50 decisions to Liverpool, while ignoring fouls on Manchester United players for similar offences that he awards to Liverpool players.
And we’re told to believe it’s fair and consistent! 👏🏻
