Chapter 469 Competitors(2/2)

Carrick started his football career at the Walsend Boys Club and started his career in 1998 with the West Ham youth team. Carrick played for 6 seasons with the Hammers, and was loaned to Birmingham and other teams, and also competed in the Championship with the team. In the summer of 2004, Carrick transferred to Tottenham Hotspur for 2.75 million pounds. He played for two seasons.

In the summer, Carrick joined Manchester United for £18.6 million.

An English central defender with £18.6 million is quite expensive. Especially in comparison, Carrick is not the main midfielder of England. He even had only two appearances in the World Cup, and he performed averagely.

But midfielders with excellent skills like Carrick are very rare in England. This has doubled his value.

Carrick's joining Manchester United is definitely one of the most eye-catching big moves this summer.

Another big move for Manchester United is selling Dutch scorer Van Nistruei. This transfer is questioned because in the past few seasons, Manchester United almost relied on Van Nie's goals to maintain their offensive ability in the frontcourt, and Van Nie is also Manchester United's most important scoring method.

When the league began, many people were paying attention to Manchester United's forward's goal-scoring ability.

Many people believe that after Van Nie left, Manchester United's forward's goal-scoring ability will be affected. But no one expected that the forward line between Rooney and Sachah would score five goals in the first round of the league.

With a 5-1 victory over Fulham, Manchester United ushered in a fantastic start!

Rooney scored two goals in this game, and C-Ronaldo added icing on the cake. What the fans saw was that the two worked closely on the court without any flaws. All of this made Ferguson smile. Even when facing the upcoming three-game suspension, the old Lord Sir seemed confident. He said that he believed that his team could survive. "Unfortunately we will lose Rooney in the next three games, but we still have the strength to compete. Just look at the players now, we can grasp the situation now."

Ferguson said Manchester United is still chasing Bayern Munich's English striker Hargreaves. "I can't give you any clear answers now. We are working hard to get it. The problem is that Bayern Munich is very stubborn and very resistant. Of course I can understand, but we must do our best."

The old Lord reiterated the importance of Hargreaves, "The team we have established requires that every player is very strong, and of course there will be some key players, and obviously the key players I refer to include Irving (Hargreaves)."

Although Manchester United can only hope that Bayern can play the net, Ferguson doesn't have to worry now. After all, in today's game with Fulham, the midfield line has a completely advantage and suppresses the opponent without the power to fight back. "We have a very outstanding team, and you can see our wonderful performance in the midfield line today. Carrick is actively returning. I hope he can bring more firepower and ammunition to the whole team next week. Overall, I am very satisfied. We are all players in our 20s and can be full of hope for the future."

The old Lord believes that since the current team has geniuses like Rooney and Ronaldo, the team should be prepared to compete for a series of championship titles.

"I'm very happy that the young people are performing better and better. This seems to be the best start since I became the Manchester United head coach, scoring five goals. Both the overall offensive and defensive efficiency and the final blow are perfect. You can't expect anything better than this. The players complete this game with great confidence."

Anyone who has watched this game will be surprised at how powerful Manchester United is.

After Van Nistrue left, Manchester United's forward line seemed stronger. After the baptism of the World Cup, C-Ronaldo and Rooney were more mature. Carrick seemed quite active when he first came to the team, Scholes and Giggs were still mature and steady.

Anyone can see that if this Manchester United team performs well, it will really scare the opponent.
