 On 22 November 2013 , Manchester United announced that Carrick had signed a contract extension until 2015 , with the option to extend for a further year . In the 2013 – 14 season , Carrick struggled to retain his previous season 's form , as Manchester United struggled generally under new manager David Moyes . His season was not helped by a persistent achilles problem that kept him out from November until December , whilst new signings in midfield such as Marouane Fellaini had failed to perform . In February , Carrick was criticized by former club captain Roy Keane for what Keane thought was a poor interview . Although he made a total of 42 appearances in all competitions that season , there was speculation over whether Carrick had a future at Manchester United .
