After the departure of Wayne Rooney, 36-year-old Carrick was appointed captain of the "Red Devils".

Nevertheless, such an honorable status does not guarantee Michael additional minutes on the field, for which the arrival of Nemanja Matic in the team will require the age-old Englishman to compete seriously.

The midfielder himself answered the question about his prospects in the team:.

"We have a great composition".

"The season is long, and we are waiting for a lot of games. I hope we can move forward as far as possible in the cup competitions ".

"Given the number of matches, the rotation of the composition". Said Carrick.

Last season, Michael took part in 38 games for Manchester United in all tournaments.
