To every Manchester United fan,

We all know that this club is special.

Yesterday’s game was yet another reminder of that. As we fought to win the FA Cup, the incredible atmosphere you generated inside Wembley helped push us over the line.

Celebrating all together was beautiful. Fans, staff, players — all united as one. Those memories will live with us forever.

It was a further reminder that with your support behind us, and the United badge on our chests, we can achieve great things.
You can be sure that we feel immense pride in representing our football club. This shared passion will drive us forward together, back to where this club belongs.

We know how much this club means to so many people — in Manchester and around the world. The backing you have given to us, even during times when we fell short of the standards that we set for ourselves, has been unbelievable.

We understand the sacrifices that you have to make to show this level of support. It does not go unnoticed or unappreciated. We know this season overall has not been good enough and we make no excuses. But we ended it in the best way possible, celebrating a trophy all together.

We want more days like yesterday. We are excited for the future here. There is so much that we have to achieve together. We will fight to bring Manchester United the success that this special club deserves.

Thank you for your unrivalled support.

The 2023/24 Manchester United squad.

“We are excited for the future here” - signed by Erik ten Hag

2 days later: fired.

Club probably should have released a statement about his future first. Seems a bit weird now

Not the sort of communication we're used to by the club. It's better than nothing and they recognise how the season didn't go well, but finished strong.

A possible indication that Erik stays?

Kambwala’s signature is awesome. Looks like he’d need a ruler and set square to produce it.

If they spent as much effort on improving on the pitch as they do on empty words, we might not finish 8th with a negative goal difference. Let your actions on the pitch do the talking.

Honestly go "support" another club.

Not buying into it. Never met a millennial nor a Gen Z with a decent signature.

It's just the name with shitty lines over it.

Obertans #1 fan.
You can tell the support at the Palace game really touched them. It’s been mentioned directly by a few players and alluded to here. Absolute state of the gobshites on redcafe who were critical of those fans on the night.
There was no way that people criticise the match goers?

Seriously? They just won the FA Cup by beating Liverpool and City. That's not enough action for you? They acknowledge that it has been a shit season in the letter as well.

Here I am still walking on air after yesterday yet you cannot afford the lads who actually did the business a bit of grace.

It's obviously not been written by the players. It's just some PR piece.

Can’t you just enjoy what has been a nice weekend? Must be tedious as hell to live such a negative lifestyle.

I will never understand the mindset of some “fans” especially on the internet.

I do genuinely think there was sheer astonishment at the reception they got after the 4-0 destruction by Palace. Got the feeling it did shame them to be treated so well after that- our away fans are the best in the world.

There are people on here, who genuinely believe Gary Neville isn't a united fan.

Some fans are legitimately stupid, I don't know what to tell you.

Good gesture and PR. Those who question it or react negativity to it should go and support City or Chelsea.

Yeah, definitely feels that way. I said at the time it was the perfect response by the fans at the game. Didn’t expect it to make such a big impact though. Great stuff all round.

Who cares? Why Would you actually care?
Nice gesture. Good to see them thanking the fans after they’ve been so good all year.
It's not any kind of gesture though is it, because it's not from them.
