Manchester United captain Michael Carrick thanks his teammates, manager and family following his final game at Old Trafford.
Michael Carrick reflects on the evolution of Manchester United’s rivalries with Manchester City and Liverpool during his time at Old Trafford.
Michael Carrick may be a Manchester United legend — but fans will be shocked to learn that their former midfielder had a Liverpool shirt as a kid.
Carrick won everything during his 12-year spell at Old Trafford. He is a five-time Premier League-winner, won two League Cups, an FA Cup, Champions League and a FIFA Club World Cup.
But despite winning so much with United, his younger self may have harboured ambitions with a different side in red.
“I think there could be a few people surprised at that one,” Carrick told ESPN FC when asked about that Liverpool shirt revelation. “That’s the beauty of growing up as a kid supporting football.
“You just follow whatever you’re going to follow. You look back and think ‘how does that work?’ That’s the innocence of being a kid, I think.”
