Ronaldo’s attendance won’t be established until Real Madrid’s Champions League campaign ends, with the final in Cardiff scheduled for the day before Carrick’s testimonial.

Similarly, Tevez is unable commit due to his schedule in China with Shanghai Shenhua, but the former England international is still hopeful the duo can make it.

While Ronaldo’s return to a red shirt would be celebrated, Tevez’s would be more controversial, having left the Red Devils for rivals Manchester City and helped fire them to a league title at United’s expense.

Carrick said: “I had contact with Carlos before he went to China and he said he would have loved to played but didn’t know where he would be playing so he didn’t know. That’s part of the reason I can’t confirm it’s the whole team because some of the lads are doing different things.

“From 2008, for everyone, there’s loads gone on but whatever has gone on, you can’t take that away, that feeling we had and what we achieved together.
