I'd say Carrick has the qualities of a Scholes, Andrea Pirlo and Sergio Busquets.

In my 20 years in football, I was fortunate enough never to have experienced relegation. And while there is the pressure of expectations at the top of the league, at the bottom it comes in fear and trepidation, which is almost worse.

I developed a mechanism so that whatever mistakes I made, I would bounce straight back. Whatever was happening off the pitch, I could put it to one side and maintain my form. Call it mental resilience or a strong mind, but that is what we mean when we talk about experience in a football team.

The rest of the Spice Girls wanted to invite the entire Bayern Munich team because they reckoned they'd never known blokes to be on top for 90 minutes and still come second.

I can't stand Liverpool. I can't stand the people. I can't stand anything to do with them.

Louis van Gaal is one of the most incredible coaches who's done a fantastic job in clubs all over Europe.
