Sonny Aljofree has shared a heartfelt goodbye message as the defender confirmed his exit from Manchester United.
The 21-year-old has published the statement just days before United’s campaign officially concludes with the final day of the Premier League season on Sunday, where they travel to Brighton, having already qualified for the Champions League in third place under new manager Michael Carrick.
The summer transfer window is rapidly approaching, and there could be numerous alterations to United’s squad through multiple exits, alongside fresh arrivals. Despite the campaign not yet being finished, Aljofree has apparently confirmed he will be departing Old Trafford this summer, reports the Manchester Evening News.

The defender turned to social media to share a message with his 22,200 followers on Instagram, where he conveyed his appreciation to the club alongside a farewell declaration. “After 14 years at this amazing football club, my second home, and the place I’ve grown from a boy to man,” Aljofree posted on Instagram.
“I can’t thank the staff, players and everybody who has helped me enough for everything they have helped me with throughout my time. “I’ve made brothers for life and I will always appreciate what this club have given me. I wish everybody at the club the absolute best.
“Ready to kick on and keep growing as a person and as a player. Once a red, always a red.” Several United players seized the chance to send Aljofree a message in the comments, with Kobbie Mainoo penning, ‘All the best bro’.

Aljofree has yet to make his debut for United’s first team this season, with an anticipated summer exit providing the defender with a chance to secure more senior football playing time.
He was summoned to United’s first-team training session back in April due to the club’s shortage of available centre-back options.

Aljofree was training with the first team ahead of United’s 2-1 victory over Brentford in the Premier League, but was not included in the matchday squad by head coach Michael Carrick.
The defender has spent the majority of the last two seasons out on loan from United, spending the previous season at Accrington Stanley, where he made 27 appearances across all competitions and netted three goals.
Aljofree also spent the first half of this season on loan at League Two side Notts County, making 11 appearances and scoring one goal before returning to United during the January transfer window.
