Carrick undaunted by United role
Michael Carrick claims he will play it his way at Manchester United and is not fazed at taking the number 16 shirt famously worn by Roy Keane.
With a maximum price of 18.6million on his head, the pressure is on the former Tottenham midfielder to deliver from the off. Carrick, 25, insists he can carry the burden of such a huge transfer fee - the fifth-highest in United's illustrious history.
He said: "I am not daunted at wearing the 16 shirt. Roy is a legend in the game. He is one of the greats, and I cannot stop people talking about him. But that is not what I am focusing on."
