Man Utd squad pen open letter to fans after torrid season ends with FA Cup glory

Manchester United players have penned an open letter to fans after their dreadful 23/24 season ended with FA Cup glory.

On Saturday afternoon, goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo won the FA Cup for United as they beat rivals Manchester City 2-1 at Wembley.

The victory meant the Red Devils’ season had a positive finish after they finished in a disappointing eighth place in the Premier League.

Erik ten Hag’s men were also knocked out of the Champions League at the group stage but will play in the Europa League next season after winning the FA Cup.

On Sunday, an open letter by the United squad was released to the public.

It read: “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.”

The letter continued: “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.”
