Ruben Curley has sent a message to the Man United fanbase after his departure from Old Trafford was officially confirmed.
The 19-year-old midfielder has made the move to Stoke City where he will join the Under-21s setup to start with.
The central midfielder has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with the Potters, bringing an end to his 10-year association with United.
