Michael Carrick - A Masterclass in Passing

Michael Carrick's passing was often seen as the standout attribute he had. All of his managers rated him highly and Pep Guardiola even said he's one of the best he's ever seen.

safe to say that we’d kill for him in his prime atm. so where do you think he ranks in united’s all time midfielders? do you think he’s underrated or given his just dues? is he one of the best passers the premier league has seen? drop a like on the vid and tell me, cheers

[@hassanomar4389]

Most underrated midfielder in the world Micheal carrick

[@fishstickeug]

Seriously underrated. He may not have the most assists, let alone goals, but his exceptional passing range and vision opens up many opportunities for the attackers. I like how his passes leads to the easy assist. He would totally create so much for the speedy frontmen of United's squad today.

[@ozoba9897]

The closest to Paul Scholes! I personally think he was United player of the season last time we won the Premier League.

[@ngolobolo9214]

He’s defo I’m my top 5 favourite players ever

[@antonransome5932]

Underrated at club level, underutilized at international level. Consistent and able to impact a game with one pass. Pirlo and Xabi Alonso get more praise as deep lying play makers but Carrick is of that ilk.

[@benflanagan7354]

underused by england. one of the most underrated players of his generation.

[@antranhoang1474]

Because England never like Pirlo, especially Joe Hart =))) Carrick couldn't play for England anymore

[@tsplays7234]

Someone’s watched rios interview

[@devroopsaha4020]

True

[@anbuselvan3856]

A 4-4-2 midfield with Scholes and Carrick wasn't even the most physical, they just had absolute vision. 20 Vision and 20 Technique on everything

[@ilo000]

20 vision, 20 technique, 20 passing, -20 tackling :D

[@haikazumadesu36]

When they had Park Ji Sung, it was a 4-3-3

[@kurtme9685]

Carrick was a master at positioning/interceptions, really was a perfect compliment to Scholes in that regard. He didn’t have to tackle like Keano because he was almost always in the right position

[@elliotchinneryhinks8554]

Carrick 20 anticipation 20 positioning 20 decisions

[@pk_1]

Average.

[@christofelriogoenawan2075]

The only player can make us not missing Scholes... With Van Persie he is the main reason we won Premier League in 2013.....

[@jonzofnbr]

So underrated by rival fans and own fans. Was a world class player

[@antonransome5932]

Michael Carrick was the key to playing Gerrard and Lampard together. The best cdms are the ones you hardly hear about. Low key Legend! #16

[@Michael.Koulibaly]

I definitely feel like if he played in Spain or Italy, he might have come closer to being acknowledged in the Pirlo/Busquets bracket. Not the same level, but not far away by any means

[@markpaul7623]

[@nbee7934]

Fabulous player, highly intelligent and creative. Majorly contributed to all the titles Utd won while he was there, his calmness and assurance were unparalleled and always performed no matter what position he played.

[@joshuaphillips696]

Beautiful

[@chanchaniceman]

While Wayne Rooney and Robin Van Persie were the stars in the 12-13 title win Carrick was incredibly influential in that run literally made cleverley and Anderson looked better than they actually are. Also in United’s 16-17 season which the main stars were Zlatan,Herrera and Pogba plus that campaign is incredibly mediocre by their standard which was saved by the UEL but you can’t overlooked how influential Carrick was in the run to the final. Gave Herrera and Pogba their best run as a midfield duo. Literally made Fellaini looked so much better than he actually is. He was key in some of LVG’s best league runs towards the end of the 14-15 season and that FA Cup run

[@arnoldremo7064]

Man U seriously needs someone who can pass like this....!

Carrick and Xabi Alonso are in the same class. That’s it. End of discussion

[@kuntalagigir8251]

Alonso little bit dominate in term of shooting, but in passing they are both equal

[@ziaal243]

Probably the most underrated player

[@mrpPp18]

What's interesting here is how much the overall playing style has changed in the premier league. Opponents here are mostly maintaining formation, hardly anyone pressed. Nowadays almost every team likes to high press.

[@painlucifer1656]

Yh back then it was more about technique and iq nowadays its just athleticism and running around like a headless chicken

[@nvlik]

it's just ironic that now we have a manager who likes a high pressing tactic.

[@bewoklearning9039]

N this was all only his passing game.. for a cdm to have this good of passing skills is incredible for even the best of cdms atm like kimmich kante casemiro busquets, they dont have passing skill as good as his, they can but not constistently good everytime... he really is one of the most underapriciated player of all time

[@chanchaniceman]

There’s so much to Carrick’s game than just the passings. He has such a great awareness of his situation,can make a key interception when it mattered,made the simplest plays for his more flashy teammates and can literally make a key pass when needed

[@user-fn6fe7yj8o]

[@user-fn6fe7yj8o]

Carrick was as good at passing as paul scholes

[@mandotpritesh]

Tbf, this is what United need now, a DM who could just slid in soothing passes like this effortlessly..What we have got now is Matic who is good defensively but poor in aerial ball distribution..Thiago would have been the perfect replacement, but he went to Liverpool. I can see Mctominay is more likely to be transformed into this role and has all the capabilities under guidance of Carrick as his coach....

[@ndcomps]

he doesn’t. you can only develop so much at the age he is and he hasn’t shown an eye for a pass or the awareness to dictate the tempo of a game. he’ll be the same player which isnt necessarily a bad thing...

[@mandotpritesh]

@@ndcomps Who do you see in the current scenario as capable as Carrick or somebody United should go for in the next window who is fantastic in these ball distribution? Camavinga? (I don't know much about him but have heard a lot ) I know Pogba has these abilities, but we would underuse his capabilities if we play him in a defensive role rather than offensive one..

[@ndcomps]

id say with the way we play rn we need a player with physical capabilities and passing ability. dennis zakaria and declan rice would be my picks of the bunch

[@JJ-oi3yq]

Why on earth we haven't even tried to replace him is beyond me, United are screaming for a player who can dictate a game who is calm on the ball in midfield and play 1 touch with the ability to play balls over the top to the wonderfully talented fast attack we have. Pogba can pass but he can't dictate a game and is too undisciplined to play central midfield. I can't watch Fred anymore I think it's going to be the death of me. TWO holding mids both with 0 composure or any qualities required to run a game is ridiculous for the money we've spent. Ole needs to risk it more but clearly doesn't trust the others defensively. I've had enough of our centrebacks being better on the ball football players than our midfielders, what the fuck is that? Cause it's certainly not United of old

[@muzammilbabar766]

There is an academy player named Galbraith. He's so similar to him

[@user-ym6lu1dm5u]

better than Fred and Matic

[@Mhh90]

Not a single goal from all those passings.

[@Ss-bt4to]

He’s too boring cause all of his passes are tall passes he’s not like De Bruyne who is able to pass both tall and short passes.
