Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick has become the latest footballer to chip into the 'who is better' debate between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
And there was no surprise that Carrick voted for his former United team-mate Ronaldo.
Carrick was fortunate enough to play alongside Ronaldo during their successful time together with the Old Trafford outfit, while the midfield veteran has played against Messi in the Champions League.

But the 35-year-old claims Ronaldo is the better player due to his hunger and desire both on and off the pitch.
