Carrick: Why I was ready for coaching at United
The uniquely-talented ex-midfielder hung up his boots in May 2018, calling it a day after 13 seasons as a Red in which he registered 464 appearances, scored 24 goals and lifted 17 trophies.
Rather than taking time out from football, which he had once planned to do, Carrick immediately accepted an offer to become a first-team coach at United and he has not looked back since.
The 37-year-old has embraced his new role and admits he is learning all of the time, as he explained to us during the club’s recent end-of-season awards night at Old Trafford.
“I was ready to finish playing, I'd had enough,”Carrick told us.
