Michael Carrick has thanked Manchester United supporters in an Instagram statement after being dismissed as head coach amid the team's struggles this season. The club has confirmed Mauricio Pochettino as his replacement.

Carrick expressed gratitude for the opportunity to manage a club he loves and acknowledged the responsibility that came with the position. He also recognized the recent disappointing results, while thanking fans for continuing to support him during that period.

Reflecting on his tenure, Carrick recalled moments of celebration and said the supporters' response had meant more to him than individual victories. He said his connection with United would remain unchanged and that he would continue following the team as a supporter.

Pochettino is leaving his managerial job with USA but will oversee their two fixtures against Haiti before beginning work in Manchester on November 18. United's next Premier League match is an away game against Liverpool on November 22.
