Manchester United have confirmed that midfielder Michael Carrick will take over from Wayne Rooney as the club's new captain.
The 35-year-old has been at United for 11 years and is now the longest-serving player at the club following the departure of Rooney, who returned to Everton earlier this week.
Carrick signed a contract extension in May to keep him at Old Trafford for another season, and he will take over the armband for the upcoming campaign.
Carrick has made 459 appearances for United, scoring 24 goals.
