For example, look at Carrick's pass just this past weekend, for United's goal.  |
First of all...no. I'm not watching Manchester United on purpose and secondly, hes the best you've got.
And I think you're underrating his passing somewhat.
Hes not in the upper echelons of CMs in the world or anything, but you could do worse.
