The former England international signed for us from Tottenham Hotspur in 2006 and retired in 2018 after winning five Premier League titles, a Champions League and a Europa League trophy.

Rio Ferdinand got the nod in goal, with Carrick opting for the Englishman over goalkeepers David de Gea and Edwin van der Sar in quite an unconventional selection. (h/t Daily Star)

“Rio went in goal once, so I’m saying Rio can play half-and-half. I apologise to David [De Gea] and Edwin [Van der Sar], but I want an outfielder.”

Carrick picked himself as the defender in the side, opting to field Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs in the middle of the park. (h/t Daily Star)

Michael Carrick dream team — Giggs, Ronaldo,Rooney and Scholes all got picked by Carrick.

In attack, Carrick selected Manchester United’s all-time leading goalscorer Wayne Rooney, along with the iconic Cristiano Ronaldo. (h/t Daily Star)

“I’m going Rio, Scholesy, Giggsy, Wazza, Ronaldo… I’ll go all from the past then so that I’m not putting anyone in from the current team – I’m not leaving anyone out then.”
