I would seriously take him for a year as cover. Him and Park could probably walk into the squad even now. Park was immense as usual. Its like he's never left. Pretty sure that entire side could have easily walked into the current squad, barring Rooney. |

Pretty sure that entire side could have easily walked into the current squad, barring Rooney. Park played great and to think it was only a friendly, potato head comes on and goes down in the box thinking he would get a penalty and then he loses his rag with the ref for not awarding it and yelling at him, FFS it was only a friendly, you could just visualise what he was thinking "Penalty, I will take it and score" the sooner that twat disappears into the wild blue yonder the better. |

www.fourfourtwo.com/performance/skills/michael-carrick-protecting-back-fourFrom fighting fires started by the opposition to making attacking surges from deep, Manchester United's midfield sentry explains the art of the holding role Know your job “If you’re playing the holding role in a central three in midfield, you’re screening the two centre-halves and stopping the service getting to the opposition’s forwards. If the game is being played at 100mph, don’t get carried away with what’s happening – positioning is the key. If you can get on the ball and support the attack then go for it, but be aware of where the danger is if the move breaks down. If they counter-attack you’ve got to be able to get in a position to help the defence.” Work with your defence “If the opposition floods the midfield and one of their forwards drops deep, you have to get information from your centre-halves. If you’ve got to keep looking over your shoulder you can’t see what’s happening in front of you. Angle your body so you’re in a position to cut out passes to their centre-forwards, but also be able to face the play. If the opposition get the ball in between you and your centre-halves, they’re running forward and you’re running back – and then you have a problem.” Discipline is key “Avoid getting dragged out wide, leaving space in the middle for players to run into – this puts your centre-backs under pressure. Sometimes the danger is out wide and you’ve got to deal with it, but make sure you’ve got cover. But if you’re being hit on the counter-attack and you’re the only midfielder, you don’t want to be going out wide – let them have it and try to delay them so you can get bodies back.” Press space, not players “Shut off the angles. If you press the player on the ball you’re creating space in behind you and they can pass into that space. Force the opposition to play the ball where you want. Do this by stepping off the player you’re marking and drawing them into a pass, then trying to intercept it. If their biggest threat is out on one wing, focus on defending that area, pushing them to the other side. If they have someone playing off the front, like Messi, cut the space through the middle by bringing your wide men in, forcing them out wide.” Make yourself available “If you’re chasing the game you want to keep the other team under pressure, so you want to keep the ball moving. Press high up the pitch and don’t let them out of their half. As a holding midfielder you have to be in a position to receive the ball and influence the play, but at the same time being in a position so that if the play breaks down, you’re covering. From your position you can see the play both ways, so even if you haven’t got the ball you can tell your team-mates what options they have.” Pick the right pass “When you’ve got the ball you have to think, ‘How far forward can I play?’ Sometimes a 10-yard forward pass can be better than a 60-yard forward pass that doesn’t go anywhere. The short pass might take three midfielders out the game and your attacking midfielder running at the back four. If the game is stretched and has been end-to-end then don’t go long, because if it gets cut out they’re attacking you again. This is the time to play a five-yard pass and slow the game down. However, don’t be afraid to take a risk and try an incisive pass.”

Remove them from the club so the move is possible  Hardly like we've got better options on the left with Shaw out. Unless you look to youth. He'd be a decent option for cover, for a year at least so we can strengthen other areas. |

Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick has told the club he will take up their offer of a first-team coaching role at the end of the season, according to manager Jose Mourinho. Carrick, 36, has not played since experiencing an irregular heart rhythm in September, but he began training again in November following treatment. "The club would be very happy for him to do that. I would be very happy also for him to do that," Mourinho said. "I expect him to join," he added. "[He had] a few months without even training so now he is in his second week of training with the team. He is a very important player for us. "I think it is a good decision for the team and a good decision for him to finish playing football and not injured or with some problem." Carrick had a treatment called a cardiac ablation after "feeling strange" during the second half of a 4-1 EFL Cup victory over Burton on 20 September - his only appearance of the season. The British Heart Foundation says an ablation is a treatment that aims to control or correct certain types of abnormal heart rhythms. Carrick joined Manchester United from Tottenham in 2006 and has won five Premier League titles, the Champions League, Europa League and Fifa Club World Cup with the club. www.bbc.com/sport/football/42753704 |
