Carrick looks to Everton
- Published
It's essentially as you were for Michael Carrick and Manchester United this weekend.
With no ins or outs on deadline day and Carlos Baleba still recovering from an ankle injury, Carrick is likely to have the same squad available as last week for the Premier League trip to Everton.
The Hill Dickinson Stadium was one of the places where Carrick engineered a notable away success after replacing Ruben Amorim last season.
But the game itself was most notable for Everton's salvage mission, which essentially amounted to them repeatedly dropping corners and crosses deep into the Manchester United penalty area in the hope of crowding Senne Lammens into making a mistake.
Even David Moyes said he wasn't keen on the tactic – and it didn't work anyway.
After losing the opening day game at Hull, United will not want to drop any more points ahead of their Champions League return and Manchester derby clash with City at Old Trafford next weekend.
Carrick is due to speak about the Everton trip shortly.
