Michael Carrick: Young Reds can fire us to glory
Paul Pogba and Ravel Morrison Uniteds teenagers can fire United to Wembley, and help the senior squad to glory in both the Premier League and Champions League.
Thats the view of Michael Carrick, who is set to make way tonight for the latest group of Fergies fledglings as they host Crystal Palace in the quarter-final of the Carling Cup.
FA Youth Cup winners Paul Pogba, Ravel Morrison, Zeki Fryers, Larnell Cole, Jesse Lingard and Will and Michael Keane are all likely to be involved in some way as the Reds bid to reach the last four. And Carrick, who has a League Cup winners medal from 2010, is confident the new wave of Academy products can produce the goods.
I would back them to produce, definitely, said the midfielder. They certainly have the talent. They are good players. They wouldnt be threatening to play if they werent.
They have been doing things right, now it is about going to that next step. There are not loads of opportunities to come into the first team here, so the Carling Cup is probably the best way to establish yourself.
This is a great place to learn your trade. The manager is the best at guiding young players through when he sees they are ready. They have had little snippets before and I am sure they will do well if the manager puts them in.
The Carling Cup has been much derided in recent years, but Carrick insists winning the seasons first piece of silverware can be a major boost for the rest of the campaign.
There is no harm in getting into the habit of winning games, no matter what competition it is in, he said.
Some people have written it off as not being so important. But lifting that trophy in February gives you a great feeling. It gives you a lot of belief going into the end of the season, not just as players b! ut as a club.
Winning trophies it gives everyone a boost. It is something we are not taking lightly.
What do you think? Have your say.
