United unveil new boy Carrick
Manchester United have unveiled Michael Carrick as their big summer signing for an initial fee of £14 million.
The England international has moved to Old Trafford from Tottenham Hotspur in a deal which could eventually rise to £18.6 million.
Carrick has been handed the number 16 shirt for the coming season and steps into the hole created by Roy Keane's departure last autumn.
The former West Ham United trainee was quick to downplay comparisons to the ex-Red Devils skipper and has vowed to stamp his own mark on his new side.
"People are always going to talk," said Carrick on the comparisons. "Roy's a legend in the game, he's one of the greats and always will be.
"I'm my own man. I can't stop people talking about it, it's not something I'm really focused on.
"I'm focused on playing my own game and doing the things I do best, that's the best way to go for me."
The 25-year-old had spent two seasons at White Hart Lane, but admits he wanted to head to Old Trafford once he learned of United's interest.
He added: "Once I heard United were involved, I wanted to come, simple as that.
"It's a terrific club, a fantastic club that has been successful over the years.
"I just wanted to come and improve my game, and become a better player, achieve things, win trophies.
"It's an awesome setup, it really is. I've settled in quickly to be honest. Everyone's been great, the backroom staff have been fantastic.
"I want to get to know the lads as quick as I can, it's not a problem. I'm delighted to be here and I am looking forward to playing the first game really." |
