"You made history at the club and your name will never be forgotten, and that no one can take away from you."His departure means there are no players left at Old Trafford who have won the Premier League -- the last title success was in Ferguson's final season in charge, in 2012/13.The former Atletico Madrid stopper often shone despite United's long slump in the post-Ferguson years.
