December 03, 2021

Michael Carrick left his role as Manchester

United's caretaker manager following the Red

Devils' vital 3-2 victory over Arsenal in the

Premier League last night.

The Englishman, who served as the club's

interim manager for three games, has opened

up on his decision to leave. He revealed that

he'd parted ways with the club in order

to spend more time with his family.

The former Manchester United midfielder

said:

"That's one of my biggest things,

my son's desperate for me to take

him, so it probably won't be very

long. I'll be onto the players for

tickets, try and nick some comps

off them for the away end!"

"That's the type of thing I'm looking

forward to doing, spending time

with my son, my daughter and my

wife, things I've never been able to

do because I've never been

around."

He added:

"I promised my family when I was

playing that after I'd finished

playing, because you put so much

into it, that I'd retire and we'd have

a bit of time together. It never

happened, I came straight into

coaching. Just in kind of recent

days, it's just that feeling that the

timing's right, it feels right."

"It's not been easy to make the

decision in that respect but in

terms of family and, how I feel

right now, I'm really content and

happy and looking forward to

what's ahead."

Michael Carrick had an amazing spell

as Manchester United caretaker manager,

beating Villareal and Arsenal and drawing

Chelsea in his three games in charge.

The 40-year-old has hailed his short stint

with the club, giving the players credit

and pledging to keep supporting them going

forward. He remarked:

"It's a rollercoaster, it's been

amazing. I've had incredible

memories, some special nights.

Tonight was obviously special but

tonight wasn't about me. It was

the players and the fans, experiencing

the type of nights which we should

do."

"I told the coaches, the immediate

first-team coaches, today at around

lunchtime and then I told the players

straight after the game. I didn't want

anything to be about me today.

It was all about the players and

getting the right result."

"I told them straight after the game

in the changing room. It was

emotional obviously, probably

caught them off guard a little bit,

but it's a terrific group of players

and I'm sure they'll go on to great

things."

Carrick added:

"I'll be supporting them. I'm not

going anywhere, I'm still here,

I'll be supporting them home and

away. My son is driving me mad

to take him to an away game again.

I've told the players I'll be right

behind them."

What next for Manchester United?

Following their 3-2 triumph over Arsenal

on Thursday night, Manchester United

will continue their Premier League journey

with a clash against Crystal Palace this

weekend. They will then lock horns with

Young Boys in the Champions League

next week.

As it stands, the Red Devils occupy seventh

position in the Premier League with 21

points from 14 games. They've also sealed

their qualification into the next round

of the Champions League.
