‘The one that got away.’ That job. That relationship. That game. Most of us probably have that ‘one that got away’ in one aspect of life or another and Michael Carrick is no different.

“Being us, we celebrated that night (after the 2008 final win), flew back the next day and that was it, onto the next challenge.

“We won the league again the next year, won the Club World Cup, won the League Cup, almost won the Champions League again.

“We should have beaten Barcelona in Rome – that’s the one that got away, for me – but that doesn’t change what a special group of players that we had. We were absolutely relentless.”

Carrick made 464 career appearances for the Red Devils, 16th on their all-time appearances list, and won five Premier League titles to go along with a pair of EFL Cups and winning the Champions League, Europa League, FA Cup, and Club World Cup crowns.
