(Reuters) - Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick has undergone an operation for an irregular heart rhythm, he said on his Twitter feed on Thursday. "After feeling strange in the second half of the Burton game in September, I underwent a series of tests," he said. "It turned out to be due to an irregular heart rhythm which has been fully investigated and I had a procedure called a Cardiac Ablation." Carrick played in four pre-seasons games for United but did not feature again until the EFL tie against Burton. Carrick made his debut for West Ham United in 1999, joining Tottenham Hotspur and then United in 2006.
