Moyes' side have only lost one of their last six in the Premier League as the Scottish coach welcomes back his old side this weekend in what should be an entertaining clash.
The clash will be at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, where the club’s record stands at a concerning four wins, four draws and five losses under Moyes so far.
As he prepares to face his old side, Moyes was asked a number of questions on Carrick who featured under him in his brief stint in charge of The Red Devils.
“He was a really good professional, and I think I was more impressed at the work he did at Middlesbrough. I think he did an amazing job there, and his team played really well. He’s come into the Manchester United job, in what looks like a calm manner, and gone about it very well.
On if Carrick has been in touch recently: “I spoke to Micheal in the summer, a bit about a couple of things, a player mostly, but not about anything else.
“I think Micheal has come in and done a brilliant job, I think he has freshened up the players and supporters as well.”
United are currently fourth in the league after drawing their last match 1-1 with West Ham. They are unbeaten under Carrick who will be glad to see Moyes once more this weekend as the pair reunite.
