The grime star turned up to the press conference to announce the testimonial. We’re sure it had nothing to do with the fact he released his debut album this week.
The 35-year-old midfielder said: ‘To have played for the greatest football club for 11 years is something that I’m very proud of and it is an honour to have been given a testimonial. The game will be very special for myself and my family and I hope it will also be a memorable day of celebration for all involved.
‘It is such a privilege to have this amazing opportunity and I’m excited at the prospect of bringing together some former team-mates as well as some of the best players I’ve played against. The incredible support I’ve received over the years is something I’m very grateful for and I could never thank you, the fans, enough. As much as the occasion is about football, I also see this as a chance to give something back.’
Carrick definitely warrants the testimonialtestimonial
Since joining in a £18.6million deal from Tottenham in 2006 Carrick has played 443 games and scored 24 goals.
