#2 Michael Carrick - Manchester United
Michael Carrick began his career with West Ham United in 1999 and made over 150 appearances for the club before signing with Spurs in 2004. In 2006, former Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson poached Michael Carrick from Spurs to replace his former captain and club legend Roy Keane. Carrick quickly adapted to life at United and made his mark, playing 33 games as the Red Devils won the Premier League in his debut season.
During his time with the United, Carrick has been involved in four more Premier League title triumphs, as well as, the Champions League, the Europa League, the FA Cup and three League Cups medals. The 36-year-old club captain is set to retire at the end of the season and join Jose Mourinho's coaching staff.
The Englishman has been at United for 11 years and 6 months. A highly accomplished footballer, Carrick is highly tipped by many to make the smooth transition into coaching and succeed in management in the future.
