Both Patrice Evra and Rio Ferdinand are in outrageous shape for Michael Carrick’s testimonial

Remember what footballers used to look like when they crossed the threshold of their mid-30s?

Well those times are long gone and plenty of players remain in incredible shape years after they've passed their prime. Exhibit A - Patrice Evra At 36 years of age, Evra is still playing and playing well. He moved to Marseille in January and is as reliable as ever at left-back and while his pace may have dwindled in recent years, his physical condition certainly hasn't. Evra is set to make an emotional return to Old Trafford next Sunday, when he will feature in the testimonial game for former teammate Michael Carrick. It would be an understatement to say that the Frenchman is excited about the game as he took to Instagram to get his enthusiasm out via the magic of song. https://www.instagram.com/p/BUjtoxNhcRA/?taken-by=patrice.evra&hl=en Proving just why all Manchester United fans adore him, Evra clutched the red jersey and danced to his heart's desire as he proudly announced his participation in next Sunday's game. And he's definitely in better shape than most 36-year-olds walking the planet. Exhibit B - Rio Ferdinand This man is 38 years old. https://twitter.com/rioferdy5/status/868130063782379520 Ferdinand hasn't played a competitive game in over two years but he's not exactly slacked off since hanging up his boots. The former United centre-half will also be taking part in Carrick's testimonial, which takes place on June 4, and it appears as though he's been taking his preparation seriously. https://twitter.com/SportsJOE_UK/status/838967447633932288 Last month we saw just how much Ferdinand had bulked up since calling time on his storied career but he's not just putting on muscle mass. He also looks tremendously lean around his torso. Will you be looking this good when you hit 38? You can say yes. We're not going to check back with you.
