The team that sold Wayne Rooney's symbol, "Man Utd," quickly chose a new captain. Officially announced, the new leader in the club's dressing room became Michael Carrick, surpassing teammates Antonio Valencia and Ander Herrera. The 35-year-old veteran has already spent 11 seasons in Manchester and played over 300 matches in the Premier League. The Englishman is highly valued by fans and teammates and possesses the most important leader qualities, which are reflected in the player's behavior.
