Carrick says hard work and humility will define Manchester United

Goal reports Michael Carrick, appointed Manchester United head coach until the end of the season, told fans how his team will play.

Carrick said being a Manchester United player ‘‘takes a lot of hard work, a lot of humility, hard work, grounding and understanding that talent is one thing, ability is one thing and the privilege of playing is one thing but it comes down to the basics.’’ He stressed the importance of ‘‘treating people right, respecting people, looking after each other, fighting for each other’’ with tactics and technique coming on top of that foundation.

He added that ‘‘there's no easy way around it and there shouldn't be. You get to the top because you deserve to and you can't do it softly,’’ saying players must ‘‘feed off that energy and keep driving forward.’’
