    Yesterday’s #LegendsOfTheNorth match was a true @ManUtd day ❤️ I want to thank both sets of players, the fans who came out in droves to support the Foundation and all our hard-working staff. Together we raised £1.3 million that will change the lives of our young people.

    Last night I had the honour of presenting Alessia Russo with the Women’s Goal of the Season award at the Manchester United end-of-season awards ceremony. I made a comment about the weight of the trophy which I know has caused offence. (1/4)

    It was a privilege and an honour to receive my MBE from HRH The Princess Royal at Windsor Castle on Thursday. Working to inspire young people has been the passion of my life, so to be afforded such prestigious recognition is truly humbling.

    It was fantastic to address the #OldTrafford crowd to thank @ManUtd season ticket holders after they raised over £550k for @MU_Foundation through the ticket donation scheme 👏 Your support this season has been unbelievable, as I’m sure it will be at #Wembley on Saturday 🏟️🔴

    Great to address the #OldTrafford faithful alongside Bryan Robson and Albert Morgan at last night’s #FAYouthCup final, talking all things #LegendsOfTheNorth 🔴 It was a pleasure to see so many young people in attendance too, and the lads on the pitch did the club proud 🏆

    I’m proud of this work and upset that my remarks created a distraction from the fantastic achievements of Alessia and the women’s team this season. (4/4)

    I simply did not want her to drop it. However, on reflection, I can see why the comment has been misconstrued. Female empowerment is at the heart of Manchester United Foundation’s work, with almost 10,000 girls and young women taking part in our programmes annually. (3/4)

    I am mortified by this and want to apologise to Alessia, her teammates, and anyone else offended. I alerted Alessia to the weight of the trophy because I was shocked by how heavy it felt, and would have done the same if presenting to a male player. (2/4)

    I am truly overwhelmed with the kindness and generosity shown by everyone @ManUtd and @BrentfordFC to support @MU_Foundation's coat appeal. We’re already seeing the huge difference this will make to young people and families in need. Thank you to all who donated ❤️
