Michael Carrick has well and truly been introduced to transfer silly season. The Man United midfielder was watching the Lions win over Australia and tweeted he believed Antonio Valencia would do well in the no:14 shirt.
Few shouts for Antonio Valencia, could see him with the 14 on his back, he'd eat em up #monsterathlete

Cue the mobilizing of transfer muppets. Michael had to clarify.
Need to stop the confusion here!! tweet about Valencia n no14 was about the lions rugby, nothing to do with his Utd strip number, #panicover

Just to be sure - Antonio Valencia will not be called up by the Lions. And is not stealing Javier Hernandez' number nor is he vacating it because Ronaldo is signing for United. Tread carefully Mike.
