On Friday afternoon, United announced the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino as their new head coach.
Carrick, who remained a class act during this process, has broken his silence for the first time, stating on Instagram: “I’ve had the immense privilege of leading Manchester United, the football club that I love.
“There are very few who get to live that and feel it, and for that I’m incredibly grateful. With that comes huge responsibility, and to be at Manchester United, you need to understand exactly what that means. It’s different to anywhere else.
“Ultimately, you need to push to be the best, but there is a culture, there are values and there are behaviours that you have to live by and respect, which have been built over a long period of time.”
He continued: “It’s a football club that is unique, with substance and history that cannot be ignored. This is what inspired me every single day.
“I want to say a big thank you to the supporters. I must say, you are a special, rare breed. We’ve had some great times this year and moments we’ll all remember. The best thing about being in my position was seeing so many of you lose yourselves in the emotion of those moments, leaving the stadium desperate to come back again next time.
“I just wanted to give you something back. That love never dies.”
