Manchester United fans call for Michael Carrick to replace Casemiro after stellar legends performance

Manchester United fans call for club legend Michael Carrick to replace Casemiro in their midfield.

This follows his impressive performance in the legends game against Celtic at Old Trafford.

The 43-year-old, who retired in 2018 and is now Middlesbrough manager, impressed fans with his passing and movement during the match.

Carrick returned to the pitch as part of the legends squad, where former teammate Wayne Rooney grabbed attention with a stunning free kick.
