Carlos happy with Carrick
-
Carlos Queiroz says Michael Carrick's integration to life at United is going according to plan.
The £14million signing from Tottenham is gradually finding his feet at Old Trafford, and the Reds' assistant manager is delighted with his progress.
"Michael's adaptation is in good progression," he said. "It's not easy to arrive in the middle of our team and play immediately but our opinion is that heÂ’s doing fantastically."
Enjoying more possession and working with a new attacking quintet could have been a culture shock for the England midfielder, but Carlos is happy with Carrick's progress.
"ItÂ’s completely different to be in the middle of the park at Manchester and control the game and dictate the game with players like Wayne, Cristiano, Ji, Giggsy," said Queiroz.
"If you compare the front five of our team with that of Tottenham, it's completely different. So he is adapting his game very well to players he didnÂ’t know until he arrived here."
Despite being pleased with Carrick's progress to date, however, Carlos admits there will be more to come from the 25-year-old in the near future.
"His form is natural," said Queiroz. "WhatÂ’s not natural is to expect that one player comes here and then, with a magic step, reaches his top form immediately. WhatÂ’s going on is natural for me." -
queiroz will probably succeed SAF no?? think carrick haven really fitted in yet. but he is finding his form ba i guess

maybe he needs time to adjust?

Like i've said earlier, Carrick should work on fast and accurate passing.
He holds on to the ball for too long and tends to slow down United's attack with pacy players like Rooney and Ronaldo prefering to use their pace and power to get past defenders.
However, he's a good buy as he provides excellent cover for Scholes.
Cheers.
