Carrick bids farewell to Manchester United fans with emotional message

Michael Carrick has sent an emotional farewell message to Manchester United fans following his departure from the team's management, expressing his pride in leading the club he loves and his deep gratitude for the support he received from the supporters.

Carrick said: "I am honoured to lead Manchester United, the club I love. I know our results have not been good recently, but you have only given me love and support, and that means more to me than just winning a game or two."

The former Manchester United manager added: "This love will never die. I wish nothing but success for Manchester United, and I will be with you from now on watching from the stands and supporting the team."

Manchester United have announced the departure of Carrick following a series of negative results, before the club appointed Argentine Maurício Pochettino as the new head coach.
