Some Manchester United fans could make a valid case for Michael Carrick turning their season on its head after his return to the starting line-up brought an up-turn in fortunes for Jose Mourinho's men.
But the veteran midfielder was happily turning the seasons instead on Thursday as he enjoyed a taste of summer with an ice cream during a bitterly cold winter's day in Manchester.
Carrick posted a picture of him enjoying the treat on his Twitter with the caption: 'Never too cold for ice cream,' followed by a 'wink' emoji.
The 35-year-old is yet to experience defeat this campaign after a clamour from supporters to have him drafting into the team has proved vindicated by a run of 14 games without loss.
