Harry Maguire has broken his silence on Michael Carrick's sacking by Manchester United, telling the former head coach he will "always be a legend."
The club's decision to part ways with the 45-year-old was made on Thursday morning following a poor run of form in the Premier League.
United's Worst Start in 40 Years
United currently sit 18th in the standings with just eight points from their first 10 matches, their worst start to a domestic campaign in 40 years.
The board acted by dismissing Carrick just months into the two-year contract he received this summer.
Maguire's Message of Support
Veteran defender Maguire shared a message of support with Carrick on Instagram, posting a photograph of himself alongside the former coach and writing: "Will always be a legend. Respect. Thank you."
The club has not yet announced a permanent replacement for Carrick.
