Michael Carrick has expressed his happiness at seeing Bastian Schweinsteiger return to Manchester United’s first team in the 4-1 EFL Cup victory over West Ham United. He replaced Anthony Martial in his first appearance since the 1-0 win at Manchester City in March. “I think it’s very difficult [for Schweinsteiger to play for United], said the manager in August. I’m saying it’s very difficult.”The midfielder has gradually been reintegrated into the squad and returned during an impressive performance by United on Wednesday. When he is on fire he is a threat for anyone,” said Carrick of the 20-year-old France striker.
