My view is that Carrick's in-possession ideology is clear but deliberately loosens in the final third, where player instincts take over, and that keeping him is only half a decision unless the club builds the tactical authority to support and challenge him.

- Opinion The Carrick decision The results justify continuity, but without tactical knowledge and authority above the manager, United risk repeating the ETH and Amorim pattern.
