Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick has announced that he will retire from playing at the end of the season.
The Geordie boy offered his services to Newcastle United in the summer to play out his final year in black and white ... but Jose Mourinho ruined that plan by giving him a new contract at Old Trafford.
The former England international made the announcement at United's press conference on Monday to preview the Champions League last-16, second-leg match against Sevilla.
The 36-year-old has featured in 463 games for Manchester United since joining from Tottenham for £18m in 2006.
Carrick said: "There comes a time when as much as you don't like it, it's time to stop playing football. That's pretty much where I am at."
He said that a move into coaching at United was "looking likely".
Manager Jose Mourinho previously confirmed in January that Carrick would take up the club's offer of a first-team coaching role at the end of the season.
Carrick underwent a procedure earlier in the season to treat an irregular heart rhythm.
He said in November 2017 he had felt something was wrong after playing for United against Burton in the Carabao Cup in September.
The player had a cardiac ablation to correct the condition and said in a statement last November that he was "healthy".
