Carrick having the most touches showed that he was really in the game against Sunderland but he’s not the most creative player in Manchester United’s midfield. He’s safe and protects the ball but nothing more.

Williams has appeared in this feature over the last couple of weeks. He’s a real leader, reads the game well as this stat suggests and his leadership will be challenged following a 1-0 defeat to the Saints.
