This club has been such a big part of my life and that will never change,\u201d Carrick wrote in an Instagram post.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ll always be proud to have played my part and I\u2019ll always want the very best for it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ll be right there with you from now on, watching from the sidelines, cheering the lads on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The former England midfielder paid tribute to the fans, his coaching staff and United\u2019s players.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ve had the immense privilege of leading Manchester United, the football club that I love,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere are very few who get to live that and feel it, and for that I\u2019m incredibly grateful. With that comes huge responsibility, and to be at Manchester United, you need to understand exactly what that means.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s a football club that is unique, with substance and history that cannot be ignored. This is what inspired me every single day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carrick described United\u2019s fans as a \u201cspecial, rare breed\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ve had some great times this year and moments we\u2019ll all remember,\u201d he said. \u201cThe 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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI just wanted to give you something back.
