Perhaps, you never know.
Going out on a high, well done Michael.
Hope he does well wherever he ends up next, could be a decent manager in him.

He's showing better on managing than coaching. Hopefully he gets a gig at PL. Will definitely my 2nd favorite team.
Very classy from Carrick to take charge these 3 games knowing what was coming. Didn't sulk and got us 3 good results and stopped the rot.
Best of luck to him, top player for us and sound bloke too. Good note on which to leave.
Hopefully he'll have a good managerial somewhere. It will be interesting to see where will he start.
It seems a very good decision by him given it feels like the start of a new era.
Plus he's not half set things up nicely if he wants to have a crack at management. He's handled these matches well.

Thank you for your service Michael. Did a great job as interim and a phenomenal one as a player. Never felt like he retired when he did as he was always there. Hope he finds success in whatever he decides to do.
Fair play. Cheers Carrick for standing in.
Understated but classy, as a player, coach and interim manager. Has done himself, his family and the club proud.
Class act.
Wasn't expecting that. Definitely makes me sad.
Really? he isn't cut out to be a manager at all.
He leaves with his head held high!
I expected this and it's most probably the right thing, but it still feels a bit sad tbh. I have massive respect for him both as a player and as a man.
Hopefully Phelan will be next …we need to wipe the slate clean from the past and kick on now …
Thank you. Great player. Fantastic lad. Wishing him nothing but success in the future.
Championship tbf. Earn his stripes. We don’t want him sinking.
Took a bit of a gamble staying once Ole was relieved, but came out on top. Best of luck for future coaching.
No, it was done the right way. There's been enough distractions these last few weeks. All focus had to be on the 3pts today.
It hurts but the right decision for all. You can't survive two failed managers playing poor football. I wish him the best and hope he will have a successful career in management.
Hopefully one day he comes back with more ideas and experience.

End of an era, 15 years at utd. Fair play.
Phelan will go too. I’m almost certain RR is going to totally clear out the Fergie influence. It has to be done. We need to be a blank slate ready to roll and be a club on the cutting edge.
He's a fecking legend and some people in the caf should be ashamed.
Seeing Bruno all up in Carrick's ears after the final whistle felt weird considering he was staying on. Makes sense now. Classy from him to step down on his own (seems that way reading from the statement). Much better than the last manager we had to boot out.
Fair play to him. It's sad to see another key figure of the club's history leave, but you know maybe it's for the best. Obviously question marks over his coaching, but then we don't know how much of that was due to the direction of the lads in charge as opposed to him. Great player for us, no one could question that.
Will be interested to see what he does next. Seems like he's probably intent on being his own man away from thr club, whether that is as a coach or manager. I suspect he's gotten a taste for it these last few games and tbf there's some evidence he could be decent at it. Probably just needs to step down a bit to learn his trade a bit more. His 3 game run for us is nothing to sniff at though. He can walk away proud of that for sure, let alone his playing career.

The right call. Time for a new era.
Totally the right way to do it. Classy.

Carrick took the decision that was the best for him and the club.
Ole decided to stick around fecking up the entire team just to not lose his job.
Sad to see him go. Always a shame when someone who's spent a long time with us leaves. Glad he leaves on a good result.
Classy man.
"he is top"
He was coach under Mourinho for like 3 months, not a HUGE part is it?
There is literally nothing more stupid than people who know nothing assuming they know what individual coaches do, what they are responsible for, how much influence they have, or what they are capable of.
For all you United "fans" who were slagging Carrick.. feck off. You'll never know the meaning of being one of us.
Cheers Michael. Legend.

Great bloke. Good luck.
All the best to him in the future. I was actually quite saddened to see this even though it’s probably the right decision.
He’s been a part of one of the worst periods in many, many years, and in one of the very best periods from 06-09.

My main criticism of him was the evidence of his and McKenna's sub-par coaching we saw on the pitch.
But tbf it's not his fault he was part of a inexperienced coaching team under a hands-off manager. Under someone who actually dictated things more he may well have been absolutely fine. And we also don't know to what extent what happened on the pitch was exactly what he and McKenna wanted either as Solskjaer was still making the final call in terms of formation and team selection.
Hopefully he does well wherever he ends up.

Thanks Carrick and all the best :-(
The players didn’t know
Whatever he does, I hope he does well.
