Carrick’s future at Manchester United is in doubt with his contract expiring in the summer.

“I think we might have to buy somebody,’ Scholes told Republik of Mancunia.
“A Toni Kroos, or somebody like that, who plays his position really well, knows his position, controls a game of football, doesn’t stray too far from his position.
“But Michael will be a big miss.
Toni Kroos joined Real Madrid from Bayern Munich in 2014
“I hope he’ll get another year.
“He’s been a sensational player for this club.
“He doesn’t always get the praise that he deserves really because of the job he does, but the job he does is appreciated so much by the players around him.”
