“I must say, you are a special, rare breed,” “Carrick stated” regarding the fanbase.

Despite his exit, the former manager indicated that he would remain a dedicated supporter of the team moving forward.
He noted that he intends to cheer for the squad from the sidelines while wishing them success in their future endeavors.
The transition marks a pivotal moment for the Manchester United community as they look to move past the relegation zone and improve their league position.
The club has not yet announced a permanent successor, but the focus remains on turning the season around after the recent managerial shift.
