Ferguson hit back at critics
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson wants Michael Carrick's critics to start concentrating on the positive aspects of the midfielder's game.
The £18.6million summer signing from Tottenham followed produced his best Red Devils performance so far in Saturday's astounding four-goal hammering of Bolton at the Reebok Stadium.
So, after a couple of months in which many pundits wondered precisely why Ferguson has invested so much money in a player many argue is not quick, hardly a tigerish tackler and does not score that often, the evidence is now forthcoming.
"People are always picking on things players can't do whereas they should actually be concentrating on the things they can," said the United boss.
"Michael is one of those unassuming quiet guys, who just goes about his job and never gives the ball away.
"But his range of passing can win you games. He has great potential and is a real Manchester United player."
