Carrick impressed after taking over as interim boss following Ruben Amorim's acrimonious exit in January, leading United to Champions League qualification.
He was rewarded with a two-year permanent deal, but results have nose-dived in this campaign.
The Red Devils are in the Premier League relegation zone after winning just one of their 10 league matches so far.
The Old Trafford club named former Tottenham, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain boss Pochettino, currently USA head coach, as their new manager on Friday.
Despite the downturn this season, Carrick remained popular with supporters in part for his role as a player in multiple triumphs under Alex Ferguson, who retired in 2013.
The 45-year-old said his affection remained rock-solid.
"I want nothing but success for Manchester United. This club has been such a big part of my life and that will never change," Carrick wrote in an Instagram post.
"I'll always be proud to have played my part and I'll always want the very best for it.
