"Ladies and gentlemen, family, friends, and most importantly, the Manchester United fans, I'm going to make this speech as brief as possible because I know you're all eager to get on with the game.
"I'm not going to cry, but I'm going to get a bit emotional because this is a big moment for me. I've been at this club for 27 years, and it's been an incredible journey.
"I want to thank the fans for their support over the years. You've been fantastic, and I'm going to miss you all. I'm going to miss the noise, the passion, the energy that you bring to the stadium every week.
"I want to thank the players who have played for me over the years. You've been an absolute pleasure to work with. I've had the privilege of working with some of the greatest players in the world, and I'm going to miss that.
"I want to thank the staff who have worked with me over the years. You've been an absolute pleasure to work with, and I'm going to miss you all.
"And finally, I want to thank my family. Without their support, I wouldn't be standing here today. My wife, Cathy, has been my rock throughout my career, and I'm going to miss her dearly.
"I'm going to miss this club, but I'm not going to miss the stress and the pressure that comes with being the manager of Manchester United. (laughs)
"I'm going to take a break, and then I'll come back and watch the game from the stands. And I'll be cheering you all on, because that's what I do.
"Thank you, Manchester United, and thank you, football. It's been an incredible journey, and I'm going to miss it dearly."
The speech was met with a standing ovation from the crowd, and it marked the end of an era for Manchester United and the football world.
