Michael Carrick may be better known for his calm passing on the pitch but the veteran midfielder is clearly something of a prankster off it.
The 35-year-old fooled a local school child during a Manchester United Foundation event in the community, leaving the excited kid bemused by the midfielder's actions.
Carrick tapped the young child on the shoulder, who looked around trying to figure out who had touched him.
And none of the youngster's friends were willing to give up Carrick, instead suppressing laughter at the funny incident.
