“It’s great to have Mason back, to miss him so quickly after we came in and came together,” Carrick said today.

“So, he’s obviously had what, nearly two, three weeks of building up and finding his rhythm, finding his sharpness. So yeah, it’s great to have him back.”

Carrick also said: “I think his versatility is a big strength.

“He can play through the middle, he can play in midfield, he can play wide, and he can do so many different roles. And he’s certainly a team player.

“He’s a player that I really like, and there’s loads to come from Mason, we’ve just got to give him the time to get fit again and be patient with that, but he’s certainly in a good place right now.”
