Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick will miss the start of the season after injuring his ankle in Wednesday's friendly in Dublin.

The England international limped out of the 7-1 victory over the Irish League XI after picking up the knock during the first half and Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed the 29-year-old will be out for a fortnight.

"Michael hurt his ankle on Wednesday," said Ferguson.

"It is nothing serious but he will be out for a couple of weeks, so he will miss the start of the season."

It means Carrick will miss Sunday's Community Shield encounter with Chelsea, plus the opening Premier League game with Newcastle on August 16.

In addition Carrick will not be available for England's midweek friendly against Hungary at Wembley.
