Sir Alex Ferguson will manage Man United XI for Michael Carrick testimonial

It's just an end of season friendly, but much has been made of Michael Carrick's testimonial.

The game will see a Michael Carrick All-Star XI take on a Manchester United side made up of players from their 2008 European Cup-winning squad. Because of this, there's been plenty of excitement about the potential return (for one night only) of Cristiano Ronaldo and a fair amount of concern that Carlos Tevez, the man who left United for Manchester City in 2009, may once again be pulling on a red shirt.

Harry Redknapp, manager of West Ham, where Carrick started his professional career, will manage the All-Star team on the night. Catch up with this week's episode of 888Sport Football Friday Live
