Today was his 400th appearance for Manchester United. What a majestic player.
I'd like to know as well.So, is he injured?
More like casually ambled into the groundRead in a few places (Internet, United related fanzines) that he's retiring at the end of the season.
No idea how true it is but, he's 35 and has been ran into the ground.
Wouldn't surprise me. I can't see him play anywhere else but United now.Read in a few places (Internet, United related fanzines) that he's retiring at the end of the season.

Can't carry immobile players in the premier league. Every pair of legs count.Still got something to offer imo. Surround him with competent players and he's still got the passing to hurt most teams

That would be Roy Keane.The only consistent in Uniteds midfield throughout the most successful period of it's history.
The side that got to 3 champions league finals, won it once and won the league 4 times in a 5 year period didn't contain Roy Keane.That would be Roy Keane.
Amen. People put too much emphasis on "strong" personality and not enough on "calming influence".One of the most under-rated United midfielders ever.

Dominated domestically when there wasn't as strong opposition as their currently is. Nowhere near as successful in Europe.94-02
Doubles, treble, etc.
Exactly. Absolutely majestic player, and utterly bizarre that you get people who don't rate him.Amen. People put too much emphasis on "strong" personality and not enough on "calming influence".
Was a harder competition to win in the 90s, especially with the foreigner rule which meant that the likes of Keane and Irwin were counted as foreign players. Along with Cantona, and Hughes.Dominated domestically when there wasn't as strong opposition as their currently is. Nowhere near as successful in Europe.
Without doubt.He's been unfairly castigated this season due to people wanking off to our shit new toys. Still the best passer in the team by some distance.
Getting to finals isn't success.Dominated domestically when there wasn't as strong opposition as their currently is. Nowhere near as successful in Europe.
Come on now. Getting to 3 CL finals in 4 years is a magnificent achievement. I call that success even if we lost two of them to the best team ever.Getting to finals isn't success.
aye we might as well get put out in the group stages.Getting to finals isn't success.
Scholes, Ronaldo etc played no partCome on now. Getting to 3 CL finals in 4 years is a magnificent achievement. I call that success even if we lost two of them to the best team ever.

Achievement, yes. Success for a club as big as United is winning the competition.aye we might as well get put out in the group stages.
We got to the final and got beat off probably the best club side of all time.
Absolutely.He's been unfairly castigated this season due to people wanking off to our shit new toys. Still the best passer in the team by some distance.
Great player, no doubt, but he's a liability in terms of fitness. Hope we find a younger, less injury prone option in the main window.Scholes, Ronaldo etc played no part
Carricks been a very good player for United and I would hope he has another season or two in him. He's not (seemingly) put on any weight, or lost any pace . We'll have to wait and see.
Carrick was one of the reasons our defence was so good. He was the #6 sat in front of them.Achievement, yes. Success for a club as big as United is winning the competition.
Also our midfield was actually our weakness those years masked and negated by the strength of our attack and defence whereas in Keane"s time I imagine the midfield, or he at least, was one of the strongest parts.
Aye, it's a good thing we got knocked out in the group stages this year, as we would of just been beaten at some point.Getting to the final is not success. It is still loosing, its just loosing later and having built your hopes up.
Yeah, true.Aye, it's a good thing we got knocked out in the group stages this year, as we would of just been beaten at some point.
Point still stands, failing is failing if its in the qualifiers or the final.Aye, it's a good thing we got knocked out in the group stages this year, as we would of just been beaten at some point.
