The
importance of Michael Carrick in Manchester United squad in recent weeks is incomparable
as his visionary skills in the mid-field have played a key part in Manchester
United’s consecutive six games success. But Louis Van Gaal may have to play
against Chelsea without Carrick as the 33 year old caught up an injury in
Sunday’s 4-2 win against Manchester City.
Carrick has
been the 'soul' of the Red Devils as the Englishmen have opened many attacking
position for the strikers and have created several goal scoring chances and his
presence have made look United a completely different team. But the injury in
the derby game has forced the mid-fielder to limp off late in the game.
It is a very sorry
situation for both the team and the fans of Manchester United as Carrick's absence may be a great loss
when the team faces Chelsea but in the modern day games injuries are
normal and no-one can do anything about it. So, now the questions lies that who
will replace Carrick’s position( if he is not playing) when united is travelling to west London?
Daley blind
looks to be the perfect replacement for Carrick against the match with the
league leaders as the Dutchman’s recent performance in the left-back has been
at par and can uniformly play admirably in the middle of the park too. While, Luke Shaw can take the position in the left flank provided he recovers from his
hamstring injury.
The fans are
quite confident on the team as their recent run has been excellent with big
wins against Tottenham, Liverpool and recently against noisy neighbors Manchester
City. Carrick’s presence will no doubt enhanced the confidence a bit
more but reports on his injury is yet unknown. Hopefully, the injury isn’t too
severe and Carrick will be fit up to play the match at Stamford Bridge.
