Gerard Pique this week agreed to join former club Barcelona,
but before he left he asked ManUtd.com to publish a letter of
thanks to the club, staff and fans...
I didn't want to say goodbye without thanking all the club
personnel, including the football equipment manager, masseuses,
secretaries, coaches, and especially my team mates, who have always
treated me well and played a vital role in my development, both as
a football player and more importantly, on a personal
level.
Obviously I would have liked to play more this season, but I must
say that despite some difficult decisions, the manager has always
treated me in an exceptional manner, for which I am extremely
grateful.
I am leaving with some very special memories: scoring a Champions
League goal at Old Trafford, beating Arsenal in April on the way to
winning the title and, most of all, the experience of being part of
this fantastic group that won the Premier League and Champions
League Double.
Finally, a special thanks to the fans for their warmth and support.
I would like them to know that I will always carry United in my
heart and I hope that they understand my decision to go back to my
home club, FC Barcelona.
Thank you all and I hope to see you in the Champions League final
next season.
Gerard Pique
