Two Manchester United stars have quit the club with emotional messages to the fans.
Victor Lindelof and Christian Eriksen have both shared statements with their Red Devils contracts set to expire. "There’s nothing on earth like being a red. Manchester, thank you from the bottom of my heart," Lindelof said.
"A huge thank you to all the fans who has supported me through the last three years as a @manchesterunited player," Eriksen added.
"Thank you too all the kind and hardworking people at the club who has made me and my family feel so welcomed since day one.
"And a big thank you to my team-mates, it’s been a pleasure sharing the changing room and pitch together!

"It’s been an amazing time and I’ve made some incredible memories that I will keep for ever. Thank you, Christian."
However, United fans were stunned at the timing of the announcement from the pair - following speculation Bruno Fernandes could be about to leave the club with the Saudi Pro League calling.
"I know you have that @B_Fernandes8 farewell tweet ready in the drafts, admin," one fan posted. While a second said: "Why are you freaking us out like this? The timing, man!"

And another added: "The caption after the Bruno news almost had me."
Reports from overnight suggested that Fernandes, who is currently on a post-season tour of Asia with the Red Devils, is seriously considering quitting United.
