During a clash with arch-rivals Liverpool six years ago, Carrick was left scratching his head over Giggs' refusal to cross the ball into the box after beating Reds defender, Martin Kelly.
But, as always, Giggs had his reasons.
Carrick recalled: "Picture the scene: 0-0 just before half-time at Anfield on 23 September 2012, Giggsy gets the ball and runs down the left wing, targeting Martin Kelly, the 22-year-old playing right back for Liverpool.
"Giggsy turns back, and I'm there, in space, for the pass, it's made for me, so I scream, 'Giggsy!' He turns back again. 'Giggsy! Yes! Giggsy! Any chance?' I shout again.
"He keeps turning, short and sharp, chopping again and again, constantly moving the ball, taking Kelly one way and the other, but not passing.
"'For fuck's sake, Giggsy!' Chop, chop, chop, get to the byeline, chop again, and he ends up getting a corner. United fans are going, 'Fucking cross it.'
"The ref blows for half-time after the corner and as we go to the tunnel, I say, 'Giggsy?!' He smiles, gives me a little pat on the back and goes, 'His thighs will be burning. His legs have gone now.'
"''Fucking hell, so that's what you're doing it for.'
"Genius! Giggsy never let Kelly settle."
