The 35-year-old midfielder is the second-longest serving player at Old Trafford – after Wayne Rooney – and his 11-year contribution will be recognised with a testimonial on June 4. The match will pit a Manchester United 2008 XI against the Michael Carrick All-Stars, a day that will raise money for charity and could also act as his farewell. Carrick’s contract expires in the summer and, despite still impressing for United, would seriously consider calling time on his playing career if his deal was not extended.
