Carrick pays tribute to fans, victims of Manchester attack in testimonial

Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick paid tribute to the Old Trafford crowd for supporting his testimonial on Sunday.

Carrick marked 11 years at the club with a match to benefit his charitable foundation in front of 70,027 fans.

The 35-year-old, who saw a deft first-half chip drift wide of the angle of crossbar and post, scored the equaliser in a 2-2 draw eight minutes from time before departing to a standing ovation.

Despite more than a decade at United the pre-match team sheet somehow managed to spell the main man's name wrong; he was originally listed as "Carrtick" before the error was quickly corrected.
