Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-c25261 Carrick will be crucial to Manchester United’s hopes of regaining their Premier League crown from Manchester City in the upcoming Premier League season. Carrick has been a divisive figure amongst
United’s supporters whilst some have hailed his approach as a calm customer in central midfield dictating the tempo of the match, others have called on the Englishman to be a bit more imposing against stronger outfits.
United’s central midfield which has been below par for the last two seasons in terms of quality when compared to other Premier League contenders, mainly depends on Carrick to spread the passes around. However the 4-4-2 formation
that the Red Devils prefer have caused trouble for the English playmaker who finds himself crowded out by competition when coming up against teams which opt to play three central midfielders.
Nonetheless, Sir Alex believes that Carrick will be the key to United’s league chances next season as they will attempt to wrestle back the Premier League trophy from their noisy neighbours, Manchester City. Sir Alex’s men finished
level on points with Manchester City last season but lost the league title on goal difference to Mancini’s men.
United’s manager said, "I think Carrick is the key to it. He did really well in second half of last season and I think he's going to be the key man. Scholes will obviously play his part, Giggs as well and Cleverley hopefully, as
well as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Anderson-c5565 if he keeps fit.”
He added, "They will all play a part but, for me, Carrick is the key player. Michael has always had slow starts to a season. He denies this. He doesn't think that's true, but I do. By the time he gets to December, he starts playing
consistently well. He had a really good end to the season.”
Sir Alex has already signed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Shinji-Kagawa-c33364 to add to Manchester United’s midfield options which will take some burden off Carrick but the central midfielder will indeed be central to United’s hopes of grabbing yet another league
title next season.
