A big player is leaving but a big man is staying.“There is a space for him and we will welcome him with open arms but, before that, we still want Michael to play and then the next day give his boots to his kids.” Upon accepting his prize, Carrick said: “I don’t know what to say after that. I said I wasn’t going to get emotional but that caught me out.“To the fans, I’ve turned into one of you now - I support this club home and away. We’ve got a great spirit. We need to keep that and we need to stick together.” David de Gea was the big winner at the ceremony, claiming the Player of the Year award to move ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo as the club’s most decorated recipient of the award, having lifted it four times.</blockquote>
