Jose Mourinho refused to discussMichael Carrick’s individual performance after the win which reduced some of the pressure on hisManchester United team, reflecting only that the 35-year-old had been “fine.”

Carrick staked a substantial claim to a place in the starting line-up for Saturday’s home match against champions Leicester City after a fine creative performance in central midfield. He provided the control and capacity to break the opposition lines missing in Marouanne Fellaini, whom Mourinho has preferred. He also delivered United’s fine opening goal, immediately calling into question the Portuguese’s decision to sideline him. The player has looked a haunted soul in recent weeks, having been given no part in the team by Mourinho since starting in the Community Shield win over this weekend’s opponents.

Mourinho declined to speak to journalists after the 3-1 EPL Cup win at Northampton, with United insisting that there was “no contractual obligation” with the Football League for him to appear. But he was asked by the club’s in-house TV channel if he was “happy” with Carrick’s performance.
