“Nothing about this is easy to write, but as football players. we all know this day eventually comes. That day is here- and you deserve to hear it from me first.
“Football led me to all of you-and to this city. Chasing my dream, not knowing this period would change my life.
“This city. This club. These people… gave me EVERYTHING. I had no choice but to give EVERYTHING back! And guess what we won EVERYTHING.
“Whether we like it or not, it’s time to say goodbye. Suri, Rome, Mason, Michèle, and I are beyond grateful for what this place has meant to our family.
“Manchester will forever be on our kids’ passports- and more importantly. in each of our hearts. This will always be our HOME.
“We cannot thank the city, club, staff, teammates, friends, and family enough for this 10-year ride.
“Every story comes to an end. but this has definitely been the best chapter.
“Let’s enjoy these last moments together! Much love.”
