Manchester United Captain, Michael Carrick Reacts To Continuous Benching

 Manchester United captain, Michael Carrick is waiting to make his first competitive appearance for the Red Devils this season.

The long-serving 36-year-old midfielder was made skipper following Wayne Rooney ‘s exit to Everton this summer.

But Carrick has so far been an unused substitute in the Super Cup defeat to Real Madrid and was left out of the squad entirely against West Ham on the opening weekend of the Premier League.

The English International watched new signing, Nemanja Matic shine in his midfield anchor role in a 4-0 win over the Hammers.

But he said, “We’ve got a great squad. It’s a long season and there will be a lot of games. Hopefully we can go far in the cup competitions.

“There will be a lot of games, just like last year and there is going to be a lot of rotation of the squad. It’s good.

“It’s a great start for us. We’re not getting carried away,” He said.

“It’s just one game but it’s a good start and we’re looking forward to the games ahead.”

Carrick only needs to look at last season to know the chances will come, going on to make 38 appearances in all competitions having found opportunities hard to come by at the start of the campaign.

He is not expected to make as many appearances this season – despite being made captain.

“It’s a big honour for me, it’s very special to be in the position I am,” Carrick said of the captaincy.
