David Moyes' Full Statement

Here is what our former Boss has to on his leaving Manchester United;

 To have been appointed as manager of Manchester United, one of the biggest football clubs in the world, was and remains something of which I will always be incredibly proud.

Taking charge after such a long period of continuous stability and success at the club was inevitably going to be a significant challenge, but it was one which I relished and never had a second thought about taking on.

The scale of the manager’s job at United is immense, but I have never stepped away from hard work and the same applies to my coaching staff. I thank them for their dedication and loyalty throughout the season.

We were fully focused and committed to the process of the fundamental building that is required for the senior squad. This had to be achieved whilst delivering results in the Barclays Premier League and the Champions League. However, during this period of transition, performances and results have not been what Manchester United and its fans are used to or expect, and I both understand and share their frustration.

In my short time at the club I have learnt what special places Old Trafford and Carrington are. I would like to thank the United staff for making me feel so welcome and part of the United family from my first day. And of course thank you to those fans who supported me throughout the season. I wish you and your club all the best for the future.

I have always believed that a manager never stops learning during his career and I know I will take invaluable experience from my time as United’s manager. I remain proud to have led the team to the quarter finals of this year’s Champions League and I remain grateful to Sir Alex Ferguson for believing in my ability and giving me the chance to manage Manchester United.

Thank you Moyes for giving it your all. It wasn't an easy job but you tried anyways. All the best in your future and we will keep supporting you from far.

 

So Long Captain Vidic

OUR Captain, OUR Vidic, OUR Serbian Terminator! It's been eight very short years. For eight years we watched you bleed for United ....

 
....put your body and safety on the line for United

....be half of what was one of the best partnerships in world football

After all the hard and dangerous work, for three season you lifted trophies.

It always sucks when players leave and when it is the likes of Vida, it hurts even more. 287 matches and he was on the losing side for only 41 of them. Old Trafford was a nightmare to our opponents when Vidic played. 135 matches at the Theatre of Dreams and we conceded 80 goals and lost only 11 games.

Seven red cards and three of them came while playing Liverpool, we would say Vidic picked up right where his predecessor Gary left off with a £5000 celebration. And that is not a complaint.

We wish Vidic all the best and hope his future club knows what a good, loyal player they will have. And as for me, I am starting to pack my support and ready to follow Vidic on his next challenge. While doing that, I can't help but wonder, who'll fucking murder 'em now?

Thank you Vidic for eight very wonderful and memorable years. The Red army salutes you Captain.
