Its not bisaed. Do you know how many goals rooney has scored in the league this year? and guess what number he is in actim? 11.in overall rankings.Why? because it has recognised, his hard work, as a tackler, a ball winner, a passer, assists etc. My point was Carrick is not united quality.

Then the debate to be had is what is better - a striker that works hard for the team like Kuyt or a poacher that contributes little other than goals like Van Nistelrooy. But that's a debate for a whole other thread

If you say Carrick is not United quality but the Actim Index says he is our 9th best player this season then does that mean the vast majority of our squad is not good enough?
