Michael Carrick says he's enjoyed his first season as a coach at Manchester United.

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 manutd.com.

“Luckily I could go out when I was ready. Not many people get into that situation where they can decide for themselves and fortunately I was ready. In the last couple of years I just knew. I wasn't at the level I wanted to be at.

“I had just done the same thing for so long and it was time. I always had in my mind about having time away from football for the kids and the family, but there was no way I was walking away from this club when the opportunity came along. I am so glad that I made that decision and I am here."
