What Carrick did in the away end at Burnley

Watching the narrow 1-0 away win with his son, Carrick was given a warm reception from his fellow Manchester United supporters.

At one point, the travelling support urged the veteran midfielder to "give us a song" and he duly obliged.

To the delight of the Man United fans, Carrick started a popular chant which includes the words "why don't City f*** off home".

Carrick is back in full training and is expected to make his return to the first team soon.

"I remember coming to Old Trafford for the first time with West Ham, being excited and thinking: ‘This is what it’s like at the top. Imagine playing here every week,’" Carrick said ahead of his testimonial match last summer.

"Some of the characters in the United team at that time were people I had looked up to since being a kid. I just remember the intensity of the games against United; they were a different level."

Carrick has won five Premier League winners medals, one FA Cup, three League Cups, a Europa League and the Champions League during his time at Old Trafford.
