Among the stars on show at Old Trafford will be United legends Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Rio Ferdinand and Gary Neville, along with Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Michael Owen.
Carrick told United’s official website: "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.

This challenge is more prominent in online spaces like blogs and the social media. This is not to deny the obvious that facts also get disseminated through those mediums by legitimate sources.  These anomalies are the reasons why I decided to make my own little contribution by separating the facts from the fakes after investigations on the claims and counter claims. Below are the falsehood and facts which I will differentiate with "LIES" and FACT." 1a. Lies: Corona virus kills anyone who gets infected. 1b. Fact: Most people who get infected develop mild illness and recover without needing professional assistance. To buttress this point...
