MICHAEL CARRICK has revealed the reason behind his Manchester United injury mystery.
The veteran has been sidelined for two months, and club doctors were left baffled by his continued absence.
But Carrick has now stated that he has been diagnosed with a heart problem.
Carrick, 36, has revealed he didn’t feel well in September’s Carabao Cup clash against Burton.
And after undergoing tests, it turned out he had an irregular heart beat.
Carrick underwent surgery to help solve the problem.
And the Old Trafford favourite is now focusing on making a full recovery.
A statement from Carrick read: “I just want to clear up my situation as I’ve had quite a few people asking if I’m OK
and why I haven’t been fit over the last couple of months.
