Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on July 28, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Michael Carrick! The midfield maestro who made passing look easier than tying shoelaces. Your calm presence and pinpoint accuracy at Manchester United turned football into poetry—though we're still debating if you ever broke a sweat. From Champions League glory in 2008 to five Premier League titles, your trophy cabinet probably needs its own postcode.

Now as a manager, you're proving that brilliance isn't just limited to the pitch. But let's be honest: we'll always remember you best for those effortless passes and cool-headed composure under pressure. Enjoy your day, Michael—may your celebrations be smoother than your legendary assists!
