Manchester United players pen open letter to fans after glorious FA Cup win over Man City | OneFootball

The Manchester United players led by manager Erik ten Hag have written an open letter to the club’s fans, thanking them for supporting the team even under extreme circumstances.

This comes after United beat Manchester City 2-1 at Wembley on Saturday in the FA Cup final.

First-half goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo ultimately proved to be enough for United as they pulled off an unlikely victory and clinched silverware.

The Red Devils also qualified for Europa League football in the process.

It was a much-needed positive end to what has been an extremely disappointing and dreary season.

Lisandro Martinez spoke to the media after the game vs. City and repeatedly labelled the United fans as “unbelievable” before claiming that the players were motivated to secure the win for them as a show of gratitude.

The players wrote in a letter published on the club’s official website, “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 letter was signed by members of the first team and Ten Hag.
