“We can hold our heads up high because we pushed Man City all the way and it went to goal difference. We’ll be back, no worries about that, we’ll be back stronger.”

“Everyone’s been saying how well Man City have played and how they’ve dominated the Premier League but if that’s them dominating, they’ve done it on goal difference. We’ll be back, better than ever.”

- Wayne Rooney

“I owe Wayne a lot. He has been a terrific friend and a brilliant help to me. We have really forged a great partnership. And he is amazing during a game. He never stops yapping in my ear, telling me, ‘Daniel this’ and ‘Daniel that’. Wayne’s funny like that, he calls me Daniel on the pitch, even though most people call me Danny. Yet off the pitch it’s Danny or Welbz. Don’t ask me why. I’m so lucky he wants me to do well and is always trying to advise what’s best for me. You can’t buy that sort of insight. He knows what it’s like as a young player coming through in the Premier League and with England.”

- Danny Welbeck

keepcalmandlovemanchesterunited:

“Never write off United. Never doubt United. United always bounce back. It’s in the nature of the club. They will probably buy one or two players, which they probably would have done even if they had won the league, and it’s exciting for the people of Manchester. Sunday was a hard one for them to take, but I think United fans will actually enjoy that challenge because the games are closer.”

“When you are a manager in sport at the top level, the challenges will drive you on to another level and United have always responded. Going back over donkey’s years when Blackburn had a decent spell; Arsenal, look at them they haven’t won anything for seven years now; Chelsea, they are coming back a little bit now; Liverpool, look where they are now. United will enjoy that challenge. And you can see that in his eyes.”

“People have written him off a few years ago when Chelsea won the league a couple of years running, saying he was finished, but he is still going strong. He will want to go out on a winning note but just listening to him and watching him he will go on for a few years yet. If they win the league next year, or the Champions League I think he will carry on. Listen, there were disappointments in Europe and the Cup. But they won the league on goal difference and all of a sudden we are saying how brilliant Man City are. It was goal difference. There are fine lines at this level.”

“Ashley scored eight goals which is a good contribution in his first season here. He has a goal in him. There’s definitely a goal in that lad. He’s a good finisher.”

- Sir Alex Ferguson

“I saw a few days ago they (Manchester City) scored two goals in the last minutes, 91 and 93. I had a bet that Manchester United would win the league but I lost. I feel very disappointed because United are still in my heart. City have a fantastic team now, but I think Manchester United will carry on being kings of England.”

- Cristiano Ronaldo

keepcalmandlovemanchesterunited:

“It was a disappointing end to the season, both for the team and me personally. But the past is the past and we must look forward. I’ll focus on what to do from now on. It’s true that I want to retire at United, but it does not depend on me. The season is over now, I just want to take a rest and not think about anything.”

Manchester United Reserves beat Manchester City’s Elite Development Squad 2-0 at the Etihad to lift the Manchester Senior Cup.

Will Keane: “You can see how much it means to the lads. The fact it’s against City made it even more special. With everything that happened with the first-team last weekend, we wanted to make them proud. We’ve done that as it was a good, professional performance.”

Michael Owen’s career at Manchester United has come to an end after the striker revealed he will not be offered a new contract.

Thank you and all the best.

keepcalmandlovemanchesterunited:

“It is a pleasure to have had Michael at Manchester United. Michael is a consummate professional and was an influential figure in our dressing room. Unfortunately he had no luck with his injury this season. Michael’s record of goals per game is exceptional and we wish him all the best for the future.”

- Sir Alex Ferguson

“I don’t know how many times I’ve said it but without the support we’ve got we wouldn’t be near winning the championship for the past 20 years. So thank you, every one of you. Well done.”

“I’d like to thank all my medical and coaching staff, the directors for supporting us the way they do. And hopefully next week we’ll have the biggest celebration of our lives. So let’s be there!”

“Once again, thank you for your fantastic support. Well done, all the best.”
