But surely if he's our 9th best performer this season he deserves to be in our first XI?
No one can claim that Carrick is World class. He even struggles to get in the England squad but in recent games he's been one of our best performers.
The Actim Index is based on your performance over the season isn't it? I think all United fans will admit Carrick made a slow start to the season but has improved as it has gone on.
These stats are always open to debate. According to them , Reina is the best goalkeeper in the Premiership, Clichy is the best defender in the Premiership and Adebayor is the best striker in the Premiership (no prizes for guessing who the best midfield player is!).
I personally think there have been a few goalkeepers better than Reina this season such as Friedel, James and Howard. Rio and Vidic would both be higher than Clichy for me and I'm sure most people would agree that Torres has been the best striker in the Premiership this season.
