United’s captain played a full game for the club’s first game back in the Champions League but appeared to be limping as he left Old Trafford.
‘We only had five subs, so we had to make certain decisions on what that looked like,’ Carrick said.
‘But, of course, he’s like anybody else. He has played an awful lot, but I think we’re developing the group and the squad to be able to accommodate that in different ways.
‘Tonight was just one of those things. There were decisions to be made and he ended up staying on.’
