Musa Okwonga - Retirement reactions lyrics

[Joel Glazer] “Alex has proven time and time again what a fantastic manager he is but he's also a wonderful person. His determination to succeed and dedication to the Club have been truly remarkable. I will always cherish the wonderful memories he has given us, like that magical night in Moscow." [Avie Glazer] “I am delighted to announce that Alex has agreed to stay with the Club as a director. His contributions to Manchester United over the last 26 years have been extraordinary and, like all United fans, I want him to be a part of its future.” [ David Gill] “I've had the tremendous pleasure of working very closely with Alex for 16 unforgettable years – through the Treble, the double, countless trophy wins and numerous signings. We knew that his retirement would come one day and we both have been planning for it by ensuring the quality of the squad and club structures are in first cla** condition. “Alex's vision, energy and ability have built teams – both on and off the pitch – that his successor can count on as among the best and most loyal in world sport. The way he cares for this club, his staff and for the football family in general is something that I admire. It is a side to him that is often hidden from public view but it is something that I have been privileged to witness in the last 16 years. “What he has done for this club and for the game in general will never be forgotten. It has been the greatest experience of my working life being alongside Alex and a great honour to be able to call him a friend.” [Peter Schmeichel] "Disappointed, shocked, sad. Didn't think THAT day would be today." [Cristiano Ronaldo] "Thanks for everything, Boss." [Ruud van Nistelrooy] "2001-2006, 219 games,150 goals under the most successful manager in football history. It was a unique privilege." [Vincent Kompany] "Sir Alex, one of the best managers of all time. After 26 years of success in the game, we all owe him a tribute." [Sepp Blatter] "His achievements in the game place him without doubt as one of the 'greats'. It was an honour to present Sir Alex with award at 2011 Ballon D'Or. Will his longevity at the top ever be repeated?" [Michel Platini] "He is a true visionary. He has made a ma**ive contribution to football, not only in Scotland and in England, but across Europe and beyond."
