Actually this is exactly what we should be fearing. Neville retired after he was utterly and completely destroyed in his last match. Who could forget giggs playing in mf in a cl final against fecking barcelona. As much as i like fergie he lost his ruthlessness in his last few years. Keeping carrick will mean we will sign atmost 1 mf which clearly is not enough.Great news as long as this extension doesn't change our plans to sign a midfielder. We should use him the way Fergie used players like Giggs and Neville in their final few years.
I expect Andreas to be in the first team reckoning too. I think Carrick will be used largely on bench or in cup games plus it's rumored that he'll have a coaching role in U23's too.Good news and the right thing to do as he and rooney are the only two seniors left in the team (plus tony v) and rooney might be leaving.
Pogba, herrera, fellaini and carrick. One more CM please.
why?I reckon Jose views next season as another transistional one, and his bosses are ok with that.
I'm just a bit unclear how the team's chance to challenge for major success may or may not specifically be connected to Carrick extensionBecause it's unreasonable to expect near-instant major success no matter how much money we spend.
Yeah, I didn't explain my POV well. I meant that I suspect Jose isn't being too drastic in overhauling things because United returning to past glories is a gradual WIP.I'm just a bit unclear how the team's chance to challenge for major success may or may not specifically be connected to Carrick extension
I hope you're wrong! If reports are correct and we sign another 4 players and spend c150-200m, there's no way we shouldn't be challenging. That would be 8 players Mou would have brought in which is almost a new team. LvG was sacked for a second poor season and i fully expect the same if Mou performs the same in his second season.Yeah, I didn't explain my POV well.

The difference, for me at least, is that Carrick still has something to offer. Hopefully we sign a new DM and that new DM can learn from and rotate with Carrick. Sure, Carrick wasn't great in every game this season, but he still showed he can still play at this level if used the right way.every legend at United seem entitled for a year salary past his expiry date
definitely not a first XI guarantee I agree, but think this is good news as he's a good squad player and can still contribute when called on. We have played better with him on the pitch at times, but need someone who can do it 40+ games a season and put Carrick on when the player needs a restevery legend at United seem entitled for a year salary past his expiry date
I agree with you.The only way I can see us get something out of Carrick is to stop seeing him as a DM. Lets bring somebody to do the dirty work and allow Carrick to play the Pirlo role
Yeah. Bar Dier, we've not really been linked to a midfielder so this news was to be expected.I expect Andreas to be in the first team reckoning too. I think Carrick will be used largely on bench or in cup games plus it's rumored that he'll have a coaching role in U23's too.
Exactly. I was a tad nervous opening this thread that there might be a ton of boos and whistles because of his age. Good to see it's not the case.Great news as long as this extension doesn't change our plans to sign a midfielder. We should use him the way Fergie used players like Giggs and Neville in their final few years.
Yea and judging by Joses words he values him as much round the dressing room as on the pitch.FFS. Hope this doesn't mean we're not signing a Carrick replacement.
