Id expect a United defensive midfielder to be consistent especially at his age. That's something Carrick hasn't been for quite some time (apart from a month or two at the end of last season).Today he was decent when going forward but forget competely were the defense was. At other times he just limit himself to sit in front of the defense and deliver either short passes or back passes. Is that the level of football a typical United veteran/ first teamer midfielder can deliver? Weeell Carrick's predecessors would certainly not agree with that.There very, very few midfielders in world football that can be as good offensively and defensively at the same time, infact, can you name any at all? Look at the top midfielders in the world, Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas, Snjeider, Mascherao etc etc they all have their main roles, either offensively or defensively. Yet you lot expect Carrick to pull of both roles, at once, or he's not good enough to be a Manchester United midfielder. Its complete and utter madness.
Im looking forward for Cleverley to regain full fitness again.
