Michael Carrick's farewell message to Manchester United fans. ❤️
"Manchester United will always hold a special place in my heart. This club gave me some of the greatest moments of my playing and coaching career, and leaving this position is incredibly difficult.
"I want to thank the fans for their incredible support, even during the difficult moments. You stood behind me, believed in the team and continued to show what this football club means to you.
"I’m disappointed that things haven’t worked out the way we all hoped. I gave everything I had to this job, and I will always wish things had ended differently.
"To the players, staff and everyone who works tirelessly behind the scenes, thank you for your commitment and support.
"Manchester United is bigger than any manager. I genuinely hope the club finds success again and returns to where it belongs.
Once a Red, always a Red."
Whatever your opinion on Carrick's time in charge, it's difficult not to feel for him. He gave everything he had, represented the club with dignity and clearly wanted to make things work.
He may be leaving the dugout, but he will always be part of Manchester United's history.
It's a shame things ended this way. He deserved a better ending, and above all, a lot more respect from the people running the club.
Thank you, Michael. Once a Red, always a Red. ❤️
