Not just for his goal at the weekend, but taking into account his progress over the last couple of seasons, i really think Hudd could become our new Carrick.
Carrick joined us when he 23 for a fee of only £2.75m, and although was playing regularly at Wham he was hardly setting the world alight.
Hudd who's still only 22 (23 in December) is just starting to come into his own and really shine. He can get forward in attack and score a few goals. He has a better passing range IMO than Carrick does and defensively is strong. He's not the most mobile and agile of players, but neither was Carrick.
The only difference i think between the two is that Carrick had better positional play - but this will come if Hudd becomes our first choice CM alongside Palacios or Jenas.
So i reckon by the end of this season Hudd could be as valuable player to us as Carrick was before he joined Utd.
Also congrats to Hudd for getting in the England squad.
