Your unconditional support, the passion in the stadium, the encouragement in difficult times, and the celebration of glorious moments are all what keep me going. Manchester is blue because of you, and this blue will always be in my heart. Two of my three children were born here, and this city is not just a place for me to live, it is my forever home."
“Now it’s time to close this remarkable chapter and embark on a new journey, taking on new challenges. It is this conviction that drives us forward: commitment, dedication and a sense of purpose, always striving for excellence.”
