Football fans mercilessly troll Michael Carrick after he misses his train

We're not sure why, but it's endearing when a highly-paid professional footballer takes public transport like us plebs.

They could be swanning around on 14-minute flights or £300 Uber journeys, but instead they've decided to do things just like anyone else. For that reason, when they run for a train and miss it, ~~we're sympathetic~~ we laugh even harder. Michael Carrick was the latest victim after lumbering himself with an hour-long wait, and we wish we could say the response was forgiving. https://twitter.com/Fcmay261999/status/689829953198788610 https://twitter.com/WrightyUtd_15/status/689828880560082944 https://twitter.com/paulweatherley/status/689827801537601536

At least a lot of the mockery was aimed at Louis van Gaal, rather than Carrick himself.

Still, the Manchester United man saw the funny side...
