Its Carrick you knowwww, it's hard to believe its not Scholes!!!
Glad he got a song, he deserved it.

Alas poor Carrick...WTF has happened?
- Thread starter Carl
- Start date
Strange when you consider nothing has actually changed in the time since, he was amazing that season in our run to winning the league and reaching the CL final.
Shite song mind
Don't think Carrick should have a song. I want to continue saying he's unsung.
The song isn't actually new, is it?
If it is, then I came up with it first.

That chant was just terrible.
Hide yourself Plech, this isn't one of your finest work
It's optimistic to think you could go into the Madrid game with two in midfield.
Something has though, he seems tougher and fitter. Always seems difficult to get passed and his ability under pressure seems more composed.
He's a top cm
What tune is the chant to?
No, it's brilliant. Lyrics aren't Shakespearean but the tune and tempo rocked Loftus Road - long may it continue.
I agree. Good chant IMO
Is that song supposed to be complimentary?
Yes.
Comparing someone to Scholes.. yep.. its complimentary
And catchy. Can't take it of my mind.
Not only is he a great player and a United icon, but he seems to have a really good footballing brain. I think he will make a good manager one day, or if not I hope he stays at United as a member of staff.
After hearing it on that video, agreed the chant sounds pretty good. Not Lincoln-esque line, but easy to sing with large crowd.
excellent chant, the away support sounded great on tv. nice to have a new chant too,i know its been round a while but never been used like that.
Sunderland fans have the same chant for Jack Colback. But that is more apt since Colback is ginger like Scholes.
Midfielder Michael Carrick says he is delighted with a song from Manchester United fans comparing him to team-mate Paul Scholes.
"Scholesy is a legend, so I don't know whether it is tongue-in-cheek but it is a nice song and I will take that," he said.
"It is always good to be compared to players like that. Paul is as good as it gets and has been throughout his career."

Pfft. In terms of quality Colback will never be close. Carrick is.
He's far to passive. I don't reckon he'd even consider it, fair play if he does and is a genius. I will admit I am wrong.
fecking classic. Carrick's ill fated 'mullet' era.I'd be more worried if Carrick had been the one injured on Saturday than RVP. He is that important to the team (as crucial as RVP is).
What is the chant? I don't understand the vowel only singing that all supporters sound like.
Suu Kyi wouldn't give the likes of Khedira and Alonso a second on the ball. She bossed the midfield for us in the 2011 quarter-final against Chelsea. Yes, it's a joke about racism.
"Hard to believe it's not Scholes, Carrick, you know!" or a variant thereof.
Was fantastic, lifted the last 15 mins considerablyThe chant's great. Dunno what some of you lot are on about.
Also, finally seems to be getting the recognition from verious media outlets and pundits this season. Only about 5 years late...
As Ghaliboy said, he look a bit too passive to be a manager. Shame that as I can see him being a good manager. If you look at Deschamp and Guardiola who played the same role in similar style (with perhaps comparable game intelligent), they both are successful managers.
Carrick should be at least in our youth coaching staff. With him and Scholes there, maybe later on we can say ""We have many players like him (Wilshere) in our second team".
He really could play until he's Giggs age.
Yeah there's a definite link there, they're all quite square jawed as well, maybe that has something to do with it?
Really, this desperation to shoehorn players into managers is nuts. How much more proof is needed to dispel any link between ability as a player and that as a manager.
Well it sounds a bit ambiguous, which Carrick himself seems to have picked up on:
The point is that Scholes is his contemporary and colleague. It would be one thing if it was Paddy Crerand he was being compared to, but this is kind of like singing, 'RVP, RVP, He's almost as good as Wayne Rooney". Yes it's a compliment, but it's vaguely back-handed, it's basically saying, 'He's playing so well that you could almost mistake him for that other, better player we've got'.
Tune's also dirge-like. We should leave that stuff to the Scousers.
"It's Carrick, he's old...sell him and sign Joey Cole."
I like it. We should start insulting all our players by saying they're not as good as others.
Here's a song for Rafael:
'Whatever, whatever, you'll never be Patrice Evra
He is great, you're nowhere near
And he doesn't look as queer'
