How Michael Carrick rebuilt Manchester United’s midfield
Andrey Santos, Youri Tielemans and, perhaps, Carlos Baleba have arrived at Old Trafford this summer, but will they have the impact needed to raise Man United’s level?
Michael Carrick has played a crucial role in rebuilding Manchester United's midfield over the past two decades. In his time at the club, Carrick proved to be a successful and pivotal midfielder, lasting a dozen years and playing 464 games. Despite others like Casemiro, Anderson, and Pogba also having successful stints, Carrick's unique insights may have been the key to identifying future midfield talent.
Recently, Carrick has overseen a series of signings, including Andrey Santos from Chelsea and Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa. Both players have been praised for their valuable contributions and good character. While none of the signings are direct replacements for Casemiro, Carrick believes the club has found value for money in these acquisitions.
Carrick emphasizes the importance of a strong and consistent foundation in the midfield, stating that the spine of the team is a key factor in the overall performance of United.
