MANCHESTER UNITED captain Michael Carrick joined his own fans in the stands to watch his side beat Burnley... and even joined in with the chants.
The injured midfielder sat amongst the travelling supporters to see Anthony Martial score the game's only goal.
And the veteran appeared to be loving every minute of it as he sat next to his young son.
Despite donning a woolly hat and black jacket, word quickly spread that Carrick was sitting amongst the United faithful.
Carrick admitted himself he got carried away when chants of "United" rang around the away end.
The 36-year-old was off his seat an warmed up his vocal chords much to the delight of the fellow supporters.
Manchester United tweeted a video of the moment alongside the caption: "Carrick enjoying the away end today!".
And the midfielder responded: "When you get a little carried away supporting the lads."

The former England international announced that he will hang up his boots at the end of the season and will join the club as a first-team coach.
Carrick has yet to feature this season after suffering from an irregular heart rhythm since September.
He later tweeted: "3 points. My little man made his debut in the away end today. He was all over it. 'Please can we come back next week Dad?"
United temporarily closed the gap on rivals Manchester City to nine points but that was until Sergio Aguero scored the perfect hat-trick to sink Newcastle.
