Carrick hails 'incredible' Rooney while backing £75m signing Lukaku to get goals for Man Utd

The Red Devils have parted with one legendary figure, but have welcomed another star forward to Old Trafford as they prepare to enter a new era

Michael Carrick has saluted departed Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney as “incredible” and welcomed Romelu Lukaku to the club.

The Red Devils have bid farewell to their record goalscorer after 13 memorable years at Old Trafford.

Rooney has taken the decision to return to his roots at Everton after slipping down the Red Devils pecking order under Jose Mourinho.

He leaves with his legacy secure, with Carrick proud to have enjoyed so many good times alongside a fellow England international.
