The 31-year-old is the most senior MUFC player, having joined the club in the summer of 2014, sealing a £30 million move from Southampton.
The London native has often been hampered by injuries, and this has been the case since the start of the season. But he still managed to make 330 appearances for the club.

Therefore, Michael Carrick has been forced to improvise in his absence, switching various players to cover for the currently injured stalwart, including Diogo Dalot and Ayden Heaven.
