Rick McGagh, director of fan engagement, said:
“We are absolutely delighted to have raised over £40,000 for Manchester United Foundation through our events with our official supporters’ clubs this season. Their generosity is greatly appreciated, and it will make a big difference to the Foundation, allowing them to reach even more young people across Greater Manchester. Our global network of supporters’ clubs provides the team and club with huge support, and it is fantastic to see that also extends to our Foundation. We look forward to raising even more money next season and for looking at other ways to bring our fans, the Club and our Foundation even closer together.”
John Shiels, chief executive of Manchester United Foundation, said:
“The power of Manchester United’s global support never ceases to amaze me. Their love and passion for the club cannot be questioned; their connection and engagement go far beyond on-pitch matters. It’s humbling to me that supporters all over the world recognise the work the Foundation does and how crucial the club is to its community, and the indelible impact we can all make. I want to thank each and every supporter who contributed to this incredible donation, which I can assure you will change young lives for the better and give those youngsters the opportunity to thrive.”
