I have thought long and hard over the last few months about my future and,
after 12 fantastic years playing for what I regard as the best club in the
world, I have decided the time is right for me to move on.
过去几个月，经过长久并且艰困地考虑，我认为目前是
对的时机离开我过去十二年服务的这个最好的球会。
I joined Manchester United in the hope of winning trophies, and never in my
wildest dreams could I have imagined how successful we would be during my
time here. There have been so many highlights, playing alongside some great
players who have become good friends, winning my first Premier League title
and also that fantastic night in Moscow are memories that I will cherish
forever.
我当初加入曼联是为了能赢得奖杯，我也从来没想过，
我在此的时光球会能如此成功。我们曾踢过许多好球，
与这些一流的球员一起踢球并成为好朋友，赢得我的第
一个英超冠军，也在莫斯科有着美妙的一晚。这些都会
成为我永远最珍惜的美好回忆。
Circumstances didn't allow for me to say goodbye the way I would have liked
but I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my team-mates, staff, the club
and the fans for an unbelievable 12 years that I'll never forget. Winning
trophies I dreamed about as a kid came true at this great club.
目前情况并不允许我用我曾梦想的方式道别，但我仍想
用这个机会来谢谢我的队友们、员工们、以及俱乐部和
过去十二年来用不可思议的方式支持我的球迷们，我永
远不会忘记你们。在这个俱乐部我曾赢得了我小时候梦
想得到的奖杯。
I am feeling fit and healthy, ready for a new challenge and looking forward
to whatever the future holds for me.
我目前状态很好也很健康，已经准备好面对新的挑战，
并且追寻前方未知的未来。
