At 34 years of age, Michael Carrick will know as much as anyone that his trophy-filled time at Manchester United is drawing to a close.

Following Saturday's FA Cup semi-final victory over Everton, the midfielder was reminded of this via a slightly harsh tweet, which pointed out that the midfielder's lack of mobility is reminiscent of an arthritis sufferer more than double his age. https://twitter.com/AananHaque/status/723970217680891905 Fortunately, Carrick didn't appear to offended by the tweet, adding that if anything, such a description was flattering. https://twitter.com/carras16/status/723971245033836544 It's always a refreshing change to see a footballer with a sense of humour. Well played.
