    Is so underrated its unbelievable. I genuinely think he will go down as one of the best Man Utd players ever! Not appreciated in his own time imo.

    Here are the candidates for all time 11:

    Schmiechel
    G.Nev
    Rio/Vidic
    Stam
    Irwin/Evra
    C.ron/Becks
    Carrick/Charlton
    Scholes/keane/robson
    Giggs/Best
    RVN/Rooney
    Cantona/Law

    He would have a place in my squad, i rate him, i genuinely believe he's been the best midfielder in the premier league this season, every time he doesn't play for us, we miss him, we look lost without him in the team,

    He's nowhere near an all time United XI but he is a massively underrated player. While "better" players have been basking in adulation, Carrick has been the most consistently selected central midfielder in a United team that has done OK over the past 6 or 7 years. That Fergie's clueless.

    Few players are.

    Imo Carrick is as good as any CM playing in the PL at the moment, except Ramires, Yaya and Cazorla. He's one of the main reasons we've stayed at the top for as long as we have. Long may other fans and teams underrate him, to their own downfall <ok>

    Tho' I doubt he'll go down as a Utd great - Scholes, Keane, Robson and Charlton are all a long way ahead in CM and there are others such as Ince who were also handy.

    Didi Hamann said he was the best holding midfielder in England by a mile and he can't understand why he doesn't start for Egnland, I think he has a point.

    He seems to have added something to his game over the last two seasons. Maybe he has finally stepped out of Scholes' shadow and people are not comparing him to Keane or Scholes (as often).

    A better comparison would be Xabi Alonso IMO.

    He is up there with Xavi, similar sort of player. If he played for Spain he would be seen as one of the worlds best ever players. Your opinion is biased anyway as you support Chelsea who hate manu due to jealousy reasons. Im a norwich fan, so neutral

    I'll be on the Norwich board so you won't have to read my plasticness.
