Stormzy made a surprise visit to Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick's testimonial press conference this afternoon.

The UK rapper spent the day at United's Carrington training complex and met Jose Mourinho's squad before dropping in on Carrick's media duties.

Stormzy may be making waves in the musical world at present but he confessed to being "starstruck" by the 35-year-old's presence.

Carrick is set to stage his testimonial at Old Trafford on June 4 - the day after the Champions League final.

"Right now, there is nothing to report," he told the BBC.

Meanwhile, Stormzy is no stranger to United collaborations, having helped announce Paul Pogba's return to Old Trafford last summer.
