Michael Carrick has left Manchester United after the end of his spell as caretaker manager.
Carrick, announced his decision after United's 3-2 win over Arsenal on Thursday, with the game being his third and final match in charge.
40-year-old CARRICK, a five-time Premier League winner during the 12 years he spent as a player at United, took over as caretaker gaffer after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was relieved of his duties on 21 November.
"After a lot of thought and deliberation, I have decided that now is the right time for me to leave," said Carrick.
His first game in charge came when he took charge of the 2-0 Champions League away win to Villarreal on 23 November before dropping Cristiano Ronaldo to the substitutes bench for the 1-1 draw at Chelsea last Sunday, 5 days later.
Carrick announced his decision to leave minutes after the Arsenal victory which lifted United into seventh spot in the table after starting the game in tenth.
Ralf Rangnick has been appointed interim manager until the end of the season in his stead.
