The man who was good enough for Fergie but is not good enough for Roy Hodgson has always divided opinion but remains one of the league’s finest midfielders on his day. Carrick doesn’t seem to sort to hanker after a move and, at 32, he is likely to sign a final deal with United before hanging up his boots.
