Manchester United team news: Carrick dropped and Januzaj starts

Michael Carrick

Big news for Manchester United fans in the 3pm kick-off at Craven Cottage is that Michael Carrick has been dropped from the starting XI.

Phil Jones is brought in to once again demonstrate his versatility although United will no doubt miss Carrick’s incisive and metronomic passing in the middle of the park.

Fulham will no doubt see the inclusion of Jones as an opportunity to press the Red Devils off the ball and force them to go long where Amorebieta and Senderos are extremely comfortable aerially.

Adrian Januzaj’s inclusion is well-deserved, his composed performances from the left or right flank have added some much-needed creativity and Moyes will be looking to him to provide what Nani and Young have failed to on a consistent basis so far this season.
