To all Manchester United supporters,

I wanted to take the time to address you directly this morning.

When I arrived at the club, we spoke about the challenge and importance of reuniting this group of players with our amazing fans.

Believe me, this squad knows exactly how important you are. The bond between the supporters and the team is there for everyone to see and what we experienced together yesterday will only further strengthen that bond.

The atmosphere generated by those of you at Wembley was incredible. From the first minute until the last you were there with us, driving the team on, supporting and encouraging them to get over the line to bring the trophy back to Manchester.

For those of you who couldn’t be there, we felt your support before, during and after the game. Know that each and every one of you will always play your part in this team being successful.

I am proud of my players and staff for their preparation and performances. Yesterday, we saw the required desire, spirit and determination that we must demand of everyone who represents Manchester United.

We set ourselves high standards every day. At Wembley we met those demands and got the reward of our first trophy together.

We know the importance of silverware throughout the history of this great club. We are so happy to bring the trophy back to Old Trafford but we are by no means satisfied and we will not stop here.

Together we have experienced the feeling of what it means to win together for Manchester United. It is truly magnificent and will only make each of us hungrier for more success.

This group has made great strides in the last few months but there is still a lot more to come. I can assure you that everyone at Carrington will be working constantly because we know that this club and you, our supporters, deserve more great days like this.

We will go back to work today, with full focus now on preparing to face West Ham in the FA Cup on Wednesday evening.

There will be no complacency in our desire to return this club back to where we want to be.

Please know that you are vital to what we want to achieve and take yesterday as proof of what can happen when we are all United together.

Thank you for your support and dedication,

Erik ten Hag

I f*cking love the man. Wins a trophy and immediately says "yeah, it's ok, but it's only the start of much better things".
 
Literally the first manager since SAF that has the entire fanbase united on loving and supporting him, without too much controversy or division among fans about him. I missed this feeling of unity so much.
 
No gratitude towards Ole for laying the framework for his success? Get this absolute fraud out of my club. yes yes calm dowm
 
Not enough hehs but I'll trust it's from him.
 
Wow! What a manager! Straight after a cup final win, telling the fans how beautiful it was to win but also, we will not stop, we are back at work, we want more.

The mentality this man is instilling at this club is amazing.

People often talked about standards, I am afraid I need to eat my words up. I was in the camp of, what more can Ole do with this squad etc... Ten Hag has come in and said scrap the model of Klopp, Pep, Arteta, set standards from day 1, winning.
 
We've come a long way from "trophies are for egos"

ETH gets it, I love you man.
 
To think Poch was one of the favorites for the job. The man he frowned upon the league cup as it's below him, the same man who won fuk all till and after his time at Spurs.
 
I absolutely adore this man.

The trust and rapport he’s built with the fan base is incredible.
 
He just gets it.

Said it a million times now, but this man has galvanised an extremely fractured club. The togetherness he has instilled between the players, fans and staff is absolutely incredible. His work on the pitch is amazing, but his work off of it, needs to be lauded too.

We've had other post-Fergie managers speak a whole lot of bluff and hot air, but this man walks the walk.
 
Goosebumps. I'm inspired to work just that bit harder today myself...what a manager!

Spot on.
 
My G. Different gravy, world class. Ultimate professional. When you think and reflect about how much shite he has had to sort out, and the amount of games he has had to play, what he has done in such a short space of time is totally incredible.

Let's go lads!
