The former Tottenham midfielder has revealed that now he is a much more responsible player at the club due to the exodus of the likes of John O’Shea and Wes Brown along with Van der Sar and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gary-Neville-c14447 as Manchester United
prepare to fight for the title on the weekend against Tottenham Hotspur...
After starting the season with lacklustre run of form and being reluctantly picked by Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson for Manchester United to start games near the winter period, Carrick has now become a permanent fixture in Manchester United’s
starting line up. There has been criticism of the midfielder who is seen as lazy and un-energetic at times but Carrick has more than lived up to his manager’s expectations thus far as he has taken control of the midfield department at Old Trafford.
With young guns such as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Carrick-c25282 to guide these youngsters when they get into the first team. Sir Alex has already praised Carrick but
the midfielder himself has also taken the added responsibility in his stride and also improved his performances which are vital to United’s cause.
Carrick said, "Responsibility comes with experience and age is a big factor in that. There was a huge turnaround in the summer. The lads who left were all hugely experienced. The ones, who came in, or back from loan, were younger.
All of a sudden I was seen as one of the older ones - and I am, I am 30 now. I haven't got a problem with that. You have to set an example to the lads coming through and keep the traditions of the club going. Hopefully I have done that."
Manchester United will hope that Carrick continues his fine run of form for the remainder of the season as they have a vital clash coming up against his former club Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday and after that at the end of April,
the champions are scheduled to play Manchester City in what is expected to be the title decider in the English Premier League.
