Carrick happy with input

Michael Carrick insists he is not concerned by his lack of goals for Manchester United this season.
The England midfielder's only goal for Sir Alex Ferguson's side came in the 3-1 win over Aston Villa in the Premiership last month.
Even defender Nemanja Vidic has contributed four goals for a free-scoring United side this term, but Carrick is unperturbed.
Instead, the 25-year-old is concentrating on other parts of his game which allows his team-mates to take the glory.
"If we were struggling and needed to score goals, maybe I would be a little bit more concerned about the need to chip in," Carrick told MUTV.
"But we have a nice balance at the moment. Everyone else has been scoring pretty freely over the past month so the goals situation does not really bother me.
"I have other jobs to do, so it is not much of a concern at all."
Meanwhile, Carrick has been pleased with his progress since moving to Old Trafford from Tottenham in the summer.
"I am improving," he said.
"I wouldn't say there was a massive difference in the way I am playing compared to Spurs but there is one.
"I am just enjoying being part of this fantastic side. It feels like everyone is playing unbelievably well, so it is understandable I have a lot of confidence.
"It makes it a lot easier to pick people out because you have so many options." -
