I am not a man of many words, but I can honestly say that playing football is all I have ever wanted to do and to have had such a long and successful career at Manchester United has been a real honour. This was not a decision that I have taken lightly but I feel now is the right time for me to stop playing. To have been part of the team that helped the Club reach that 19th title is a great privilege.

Paul Scholes

For me, Manchester United is the biggest club. I came here to play with the first team and win trophies.

Andreas Pereira

To be honest, I'm now at one of the best teams in the world. To be part of this club and to have this opportunity is great. I'm very happy to be part of Manchester City's team, and I look forward to trying to do my best to help the team reach their goals.

Bernardo Silva

I was looking forward my whole career to once playing somewhere else to get the experience, and if I thought about moving to England, I always had Manchester United in my head.

Bastian Schweinsteiger

I'm looking forward to playing my part in keeping United at the top of the game.

Park Ji-sung

It's a great feeling to be captaining the Sunrisers team. It's really an honour for me, and I am looking forward to do the job.

Shikhar Dhawan

Being at Manchester United is a great way to play at the highest level and win trophies with a team that is very closely knitted together.

Edwin van der Sar

I looked at a lot of players - the legends from Chelsea - when I was at the academy and witnessed the first team winning trophies and major trophies. I wanted to take things from every part of their game. I wanted to follow in their footsteps. Players like Lampard, John Terry, Didier Drogba, Ashley Cole, Petr Cech... All of them really.

Mason Mount

Regardless of whether it is playing for your school team or playing for Manchester United, winning is great.

Alan Smith

I wanted to win trophies and play for the biggest club, and the biggest club in England is Manchester United.

Dimitar Berbatov

I have a lot of good memories, especially the days when I have lifted trophies. They are great feelings. That is why Manchester United players want to lift trophies again and again.

Park Ji-sung

Now that I feel 100 percent, I'm looking forward to playing my game the way I want to-getting on base, stealing bases and trying to help the team any way I can.

Carlos Beltran

It would be honour for me to keep playing for Manchester United.

Park Ji-sung

It's a great honour to be asked to be the next manager of Manchester United. I am delighted that Sir Alex saw fit to recommend me for the job. I have great respect for everything he has done and for the football club.

David Moyes

Of course I miss playing for Manchester United. I played there for six years and that’s a long time. I am still interested in watching Manchester United and, you never know, maybe in the future I could return to play there. It’s always possible. I want to fulfil my contract here but, in the future, only God knows. I will not say I am not happy here at Real Madrid. I am really happy and everyone knows this is my club but, of course, I miss Manchester United, the boss, the players, because I left family there.
