Michael Carrick doesn’t get enough credit for everything he’s dealt with at Man United

Fresh from another victory over rivals Liverpool, Rio is joined by Ste Howson and Joel Beya to discuss the performance of midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, the reasons people still don’t back Michael Carrick for the job and the way fans responded to Manchester United winning at Old Trafford.

Rio and Ste drill down into what has changed in Kobbie Mainoo’s game since the departure of Ruben Amorim and the role that Carrick has played in that.

Another young English player made a huge impact on Arsenal’s midfield at the weekend which leads Rio to say he’s “baffled” by the lack of opportunities that Myles Lewis-Skelly has been given this season.

And then the trio spin the Carrick narrative on its head - instead of focusing on the things he’s not done or achieved as a manager - they detail all of the things that he has dealt with that doesn’t get enough credit.

Plus, Rio fills the lads in on the latest about his spat with former England team mate Jamie Carragher.
