I love Michael Carrick but the more I see him play now the more hate is starting to build up. This hate is coming from frustrations in the whole team I don't want to single Carrick out but I was thinking about this today: If Carrick hasn't been given another contract what is the point in keeping him playing every game? The motivation is gone already at this point for him clearly he thinks the club doesn't believe in him anymore otherwise there'd be another contract handed to him, but until now there hasn't been one. That surely means the club thinks he's not good enough anymore yet Van Gaal still keeps playing him every game. What is the point in keeping him in the starting lineup now that he's basically been given the directions out the door. Any outgoing player like that should be benched.
