"We won for Manchester, we worked for them, for the country. We play for England, for Manchester and for the people who died.

"We knew we were going to play in the Europa League all the way to here in Stockholm.

"We did it, we're very proud. This time we had a bad season, but we did it. We have three trophies, we will enjoy it now."
