lol, Fergie actually talks about our central midfield and acknowledges that there's a problem, but thinks (look away Pro F
) that Carrick is the key:
http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/manchester-uniteds-michael-carrick-is-key-1151553"I think Carrick is the key to it," said Ferguson during a break from United's pre-season tour of South Africa.
"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 Anderson if he keeps fit.
"They will all play a part but, for me, Carrick is the key player."
"Michael has always had slow starts to a season," said Ferguson, who feels United are still the team to beat in the new campaign despite City's triumph. "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.
"If you look at the central midfielders in the Premier League, he can match up against any of them in terms of quality.
"The likes of Luka Modric, Yaya Toure, those are probably the best central midfielders - as well as Steven Gerrard, depending on where you play him, but I'm not sure he's actually a central midfield player.
"Michael can read the game and also play in front of the back four.
"In the modern day game, you don't need tacklers the same way you used to. There's no call for it.
"It's all about anticipation and reading the game. The refereeing is of such a standard that you can hardly tackle anyone now, so that sort of thing isn't the same issue as it used to be."
Despite his high praise for Carrick, Ferguson remains desperate to recruit a creative player for the middle of the park.
"We do have an issue in central midfield, there's no doubt about that, because getting a Scholes or a Carrick is very difficult these days," said Ferguson.
"We have the boy Nick Powell coming through, but he's young and although he's a very good talent he'll eventually be a midfield player.
"The boy Cleverley will contribute if he can stay clear of injuries.
"He had a horrendous year last year but if he can get through a season he'll contribute because he's a very clever player.
"But we have plenty of ammunition in Ashley Young, Nani, Antonio Valencia, Shinji Kagawa, Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck and Chicharito - and maybe Dimitar Berbatov will have to stay."0 -

Fergie just doesn't see how poor Carrick's skill on the ball is. Comparing him to Modric and Yaya - it's just daft. My only hope is that a Fletcher replacement is bought in and then we have a chance of seeing a proper central midfielder to push Carrick out of the team. Or maybe one of the young lads will get a chance and take it.0 -

Em, yeah, he did lose the 2006/07 title, Manchester United won it, you really would think you would be aware of your clubs recent history?
He then started the 07 season badly, losing to Villa, drawing with Blackburn, being held 1-1 by Rosenborg. Then got the bullet
How long are you a Chelsea fan again?
Sarge is a united fan surely? Underneath it all we know it's true.FFS.
I love your innocence. But stupid post is stupid.
Good luck!0 -
