Manchester United star Marcus Rashford posted an eight-word message on social media after helping his side to defeat Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final.
The Red Devils lifted the first trophy of the Erik ten Hag era at Wembley after beating the Magpies 2-0 in normal time.
Rashford opened the scoring, heading Luke Shaw's free kick into the bottom right corner of the net.

It was goal number 25 of what has been an incredible campaign for the England international, who has found top form under Ten Hag this season.
Rashford has scored 18 more goals than United's second-highest scorer this term, Bruno Fernandes.
In addition, he has already surpassed the 24-goal tally recorded by Cristiano Ronaldo last season.
With one trophy now won, United turn their attention to an FA Cup fifth round clash against West Ham, which takes place at Old Trafford on Wednesday evening.

And Rashford was quick to send a message ahead of that game on social media.
Taking to Twitter after the Carabao Cup win, Rashford made his next priority clear - and it will worry West Ham.
He tweeted: "Time to focus on the next one boys..."
United certainly haven't let up since domestic football returned following the conclusion of the World Cup, losing just one of their 19 games in all competitions. That was a 3-2 defeat away to Premier League leaders Arsenal in January.

Speaking after the win at Wembley, Ten Hag said (via United's official website): "You have to celebrate, because it's not business as usual, it's not a common day. We won a trophy. And this trophy means something, that's the feeling I get here in the UK.
"We have won something, we have to celebrate that. But after that point, you have to keep going, because, on Wednesday, it's another game and it's a big game.
"In our perspective, every game is a big game. You can't win when you're not 100 per cent, so we have to do everything to win this game."
