Training & Team Photo - 29.05.2012

“Encouraged, not burdened, by the history that they create. They know what is expected of them. They are Manchester United.”

Every tear of joy and disappointment, every fightback, every scarf raised above your head, every prayer, every hug, every record broken, every manager, every protest, every chant, every celebration, every wish granted, every legend, every relegation battle, every moment of magic, every kit, every red card, every Busby Babe, every heartbeat, every ounce of despair and elation, every banner, every tragedy, every bead of sweat, every Stretford Ender, every milestone, every last-gasp goal, every limit pushed, every captain, every derby, every splash of green and gold, every roar of the crowd, every dream come true. It has all moulded us into the club we are today, united through it all. 134 years later, we’re still singing, still waving that flag, still here. And we’re not going anywhere.

Happy birthday to our Newton Heath, our Manchester United, our football club, the greatest in the world.
