Carrick is not the second coming of Jesus Christ, but he's a darn good central midfielder and behind RvP, he was probably the most important player for United last season. The lad is seriously underrated for what he brings every single game.
And of course United went for Fabregas. Carrick is not the problem, it's the position in midfield beside him. United need a box-to-box midfielder in addition to Carrick, it's as simple as that.
Oh, and by the way - if you think that Paul Scholes was better than Carrick last season, I have to doubt that you watched a single United game in 2012-13.

Scott Parker was the footballer of the year in England in 2011, so I don't think I'm that out to lunch. When was the last time Michael Carrick was footballer of the year?
I love when people who only follow a big club get upset when you dare to compare one of their team's players to a good player on a smaller team. For example, the best midfielder in England this year is going to be a guy named Victor Wanyama, but how many of you could even tell me who he plays for without looking it up?
