released its sack statement on it's official website, LVG released his own
statement where he thanked the club for giving him the opportunity to lead it
and also wished the club well in the future. Read the emotional statement after
the cut...
"It has been an honour to manage such a magnificent club as
Manchester United FC, and in doing so, I have fulfilled a long-held ambition. I
am immensely proud to have helped United win the FA Cup for the 12th time in
the club's history. I have been privileged during my management career to have
won 20 trophies but winning the FA Cup, which is steeped in so much history,
will always be one of the most special achievements of my career. I am very
disappointed to be unable to complete our intended three-year plan.
I believe that the foundations are firmly in place to enable the
club to move forward and achieve even greater success. I hope that winning the
FA Cup will give the club a platform to build upon next season to restore the
success that this passionate set of fans desire. Having managed in Holland,
Spain and Germany, I had always hoped for the opportunity to manage in English
football and be part of English culture. Both of these experiences have lived
up to expectations and been fantastic. I thank my players and wish them well
for next season. It has been a pleasure to work with them and it has been
particularly rewarding to see so many young players take their chance to break
into the first team and excel. I look forward to watching the continued
development of these young players next season. Thank you to the owners and
board of Manchester United for giving me the opportunity to manage this great
club. I would also like to express my gratitude to the amazing United
supporters. They are truly the best fans in the world.
I am indebted to my support and coaching staff, who have given me
their all during their time at the club. I am deeply grateful to each and every
member of the club’s staff - the sports science team, the medical team, the kit
and laundry department, club administration, the press office, the manager's
team, the Academy team, ground staff and the catering team, both at Old
Trafford stadium and Carrington training ground, all of whom have given me
their unwavering support in my time at United. Never in my 25 years as a
manager have I been so well supported in my role. Finally, my special thanks go
to Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Bobby Charlton for always making me and my family
feel so welcome throughout my time as Manchester United manager."
