The 35-year-old – who was handed a new one-year deal at the end of last season, has been appointed to become the new Red Devils skipper. Reacting to the news, Carrick told MUTV: “It feels great, it’s such a huge honour to captain such a great club. “Obviously it’s my 12th year now and I came as a 25-year-old and I never thought I could be here this long. “I’ve been able to achieve so much, so now to try and lead the boys and look after the young boys and guide them in some ways, it’s a nice thing to be.
