He's second only to Gerrard as a central midfielder in this country but it would seem that unfortunately as a by-product of United's success we attract muppet supporters who have clearly never kicked a ball in their lives. 'Rooney-magic' bandying around some players he's heard of who he thinks are better, have you watched pirlo and riquelme playing recently? I can't believe there are United fans out there who really think Carrick is average and that he's just exploded on to the scene in the last couple of weeks, he has been the hub of our midfield for two and a bit years now, 60 and 70 yard passes look great but it's Carrick's control, composure, feet and vision which are priceless and no-one in Europe is better than him in these aspects of the game. Oh, and he's English and so has grown up with the premiership, understanding the history of the club and its stature and is therefore never likely to leave or cause trouble unlike another foreign mercenary that we bring in. Our domestic players have long been the backbone of United's success and it shouldn't be under-estimated the stability they bring to the club you muppet Rooney-magic...Pirlo or Riquelme? You're either really funny or really stupid, you can decide....

He has the ability to make it look easy. His passing is second to none and because of his superb positional sense he is also a very good defensive midfielder, even though he's not a fierce tackler (a la Keane/Gattuso).

Not good enough for United and we should sell him to Wigan or somewhere like that. We need Pirlo or Riquleme in that role. this clearly shows the man doesnt know first thing about football carrick obviously is a great playar sure there are better ones out there but he clearly can play at the highest level and iff he would be paired with a decent attacking midfilder (scholes, anderson iff he scores a goal one day) they will clearly run the midfield area # Rooney_Magic Says:

For me carrick is one of the 1st names i would put on the team sheet, he is improving every game it seems. People who dont rate this guy need to go to specsavers :) Carrick once again proved how important he is to the side.

It's unfair that he was labelled the replacement for Keane as it's very difficult to find two players who have exactly the same abilities. This is why I think Carrick and Anderson compliment each other so wonderfully, the contrast and mix of abilities, Anderson's box to box hustle kind of play, Carrick's dictating presence.
