Ferdinand Hails United’s Midfield For Recent Form

Rio Ferdinand thinks the excellent midfield partnership of Ander Herrera, Michael Carrick and Paul Pogba is responsible for Manchester United’s resurgence under Mourinho.

Carrick, who didn’t make a single Premier League start until the early November win against Swansea, has been in great form whenever available in every league game since.

Herrera, meanwhile, established himself as a regular member of the first-team almost three months ago, and record summer signing Pogba showed his growing influence with the game-changing performance at Crystal Palace last week.

Rio Ferdinand, who has played alongside Carrick for Manchester United, West Ham, and England, and has witnessed Pogba’s maturity during the Frenchman’s two-and-a-half years as a teenager at Old Trafford, is confident the pair, along with Herrera, have brought much more stability to this United squad.

“I don’t think Jose knew his best team for a while, but in the last few games you’ve seen him consistently starting the three midfielders of Herrera, Carrick and Pogba, and I think you’ve seen a better balance in the midfield,” Ferdinand told the United website.

“So hopefully we can start motoring on now.

“That’s been a problem in the past in terms of working out where the balance is and who the best partnerships and combinations are, and I think he may have found that in those three. It frees up Paul, who’s a bit more of a maverick, and means he can roam a bit more.”

United are now unbeaten in 10 fixtures, and still haven’t lost a single game whenever Carrick has started this season. The United vice-captain will be out of contract when the season ends, but Mourinho has already dropped a strong hint that he could extend Carrick’s Old Trafford stay.
