“Michael Carrick is a player who often doesn’t get the recognition he deserves for the role he plays at Manchester United. This season he has received more praise from critics and also from the England manager, Roy Hodgson. Fabio Capello didn’t appear to fancy the Manchester United midfielder and often omitted him for his squads and the starting line-up in favour for the most industrious Gareth Barry or Scott Parker. Hodgson though, has identified Carrick as a key player and as such he has featured much more prominently since the former Liverpool manager took over from Fabio Capello.” Think Football
