How United galvanised our fans at Wembley
As if anything else was to ever expected, our support yesterday at Wembley Stadium surpassed expectations.
Walking up Wembley Way or even mulling around the capital across the weekend, it was hard not to spot a sea of red that dominated areas in the build-up to the game.
Erik ten Hag and his players can hold their heads high on what has been a terrific campaign, and perhaps something of a bigger bonus is how the connection between the fans and the team has never been stronger.
In the 62 times the Reds took to the field during the 22/23 campaign, every time, supporters of all ages turned out in their droves, and yesterday at the national stadium was no different.
