Michael Carrick says he is leaving Manchester United after the end of his spell as caretaker manager.
"After a lot of thought and deliberation, I have decided that now is the right time for me to leave," said Carrick.
Ralf Rangnick has been appointed interim manager until the end of the season.
Carrick, a five-time Premier League winner during 12 years as a player at United, took over as caretaker boss after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked on 21 November.
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.
Carrick announced his decision to leave minutes after the Arsenal victory which lifted United into seventh spot in the table.
"I've just told them [the players] and they were a bit shocked and surprised, a bit emotional in the changing room," Carrick, speaking to Amazon Prime, said.
