Video: Manchester United legend shows midfield masterclass in Legends match

Manchester United legend Michael Carrick showed his class in midfield at Old Trafford against Celtic legends on Saturday afternoon. 

Michael Carrick rolled back the years with an impressive midfield display as the current Middlesbrough manager returned to Old Trafford to face Celtic legends.

The former Tottenham Hotspur star showed his ability to dictate play from deep and control possession for the Manchester United Legends.

Unite supporters will be reminiscing about Carrick’s ability with the 43-year-old highlighting what Erik ten Hag is lacking in midfield.

Casemiro struggled on the ball in the Red Devils’ 3-0 defeat to bitter rivals Liverpool last time out.

After the international break, the United faithful will be hoping the former Ajax boss instantly includes new signing Manuel Ugarte.

Ugarte will provide the midfield with fresh defensive legs, a desire to press, and an aggressive playing style.

Carrick’s performance will have made fans long for a similar playing style to arrive at Old Trafford in teh future with Ugarte a different profile in the midfield.

🚨🎥 – WHAT??? Just look at this Michael Carrick’s midfield performance from yesterday’s legends game.
