Yep. People are still in the honeymoon period with Bastian. He wasn't bad, but Carrick was a lot more incisive.Best midfield performance of the season.

1st time in 4 games Carrick has looked better then BFS still should have been Herrera to come on don't need two dms at home to NewcastleYep. People are still in the honeymoon period with Bastian. He wasn't bad, but Carrick was a lot more incisive.
Also the first time he's playing against opposition on 2nd half legs with fresh legs and not the other way round though.1st time in 4 games Carrick has looked better then BFS still should have been Herrera to come on don't need two dms at home to Newcastle
Yeah, usually a slow starter Carrick. Looked more like his usual self on Saturday. Expect him to start midweek.1st time in 4 games Carrick has looked better then BFS still should have been Herrera to come on don't need two dms at home to Newcastle
Standard opening month from him. As Fergie once said, we'll see the real Michael Carrick once autumn kicks in. Such a nice change to have really quality cover when it's not quite happening for him.Gone under the radar a bit...but he's had a really poor start to the season imo.
Thats a good point, I'd forgotten his tendency to have a slow start to the season. Its quite bizarre how it seems to happen every year.Standard opening month from him.

This, exactly. It's great that we don't have to rely on him anymore - in 14/15, it was genuinely ridiculous how clueless our team looked the second he was out of the team, when we went from our best run of form to our worst (in the run in). Schweinsteiger will prove to be a magnificent signing for that reason alone, even if he doesn't show his form of old.Thats a good point, I'd forgotten his tendency to have a slow start to the season.

Totally agree on the second point. Its probably the first time in at least 5 years where I feel comfortable without Carrick in the team. Its a great luxury, long overdue.
Agree. He is the best at dictating the tempo and organizing our game, getting the better of the players around him, specially Schneiderlin.So he didn't start and we lost the game, maybe he is our real talisman.
probably the only ones who appreciate him fully are coaches and colleaguesTweet

Not injured, not injured, please not in- ....... Great.Manchester United's Michael Carrick withdraws from the England squad to play Switzerland on Wednesday because of injury.
FFS!! Just on BBC.... Hope nothing serious!!!
There are few things more predictable than a Michael Carrick injury on international duty. Hopefully it's more of a knock rather than anything serious. At least we have Bastian available...Literally (Jamie) the least surprising news you're likely to encounter all week.
Other then "England and Switzerland in borefest at the Stade de Suisse"
Is he really? WTF is going on there then?I just want to know how Phil Jones managed to make it into the England Camp?
He's not - just a bad joke about Phil Jones injuring our own playersIs he really? WTF is going on there then?
He's not Phil Jones who always gets into risky situations. anything, shouldn't the blame lie somewhere else considering he hardly got injured here at United? yeah just blame him rightHe does himself no favours with the England camp, to be honest. He may well be injured, but this has been a regular occurrence for a player seldom injured at club level over the years.
