Michael Carrick has left Carrington for the final time after being sacked as Manchester United head coach on Thursday morning.
Carrick was told he was being dismissed in face-to-face talks with chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox, with the decision on the cards since Monday.
Final Departure from Carrington
The 45-year-old arrived at Carrington at 7.50am on Thursday, with Berrada and Wilcox following around 45 minutes later, having returned from a meeting in Monaco with Sir Jim Ratcliffe on Wednesday night.
Carrick then left the club's training ground at 10.15am, offering a thumbs-up to security staff as he exited the gates for the final time.
Club Statement on Carrick's Departure
A club statement said: "Manchester United can confirm that Michael Carrick has departed his role as men’s first-team head coach.
"Michael rejoined the club in January and guided the team to a third-placed Premier League finish by winning 12 out of the remaining 17 games of the 2025/26 season, accumulating the highest points tally in the league during that period.
"After a disappointing start to the season, the club has come to the extremely difficult conclusion that a change is necessary in order to achieve our ambitions.
"Michael is, and always will be, a Manchester United legend. Just as he did as a player, he has conducted himself with the highest standards of dedication and professionalism throughout his time back with the club. His leadership and achievements last season will always be fondly remembered.
"The club intends to appoint a permanent successor as quickly as possible."
