Carrick: Man Utd are moving in the right direction and are ready to kick on
Michael Carrick says he is confident Manchester United are moving in the right direction as he prepares for his first full season in charge.
In a column for the club's official yearbook, Carrick wrote: We know that we need to keep improving.
"We have a huge responsibility here to win and play exciting football. That never changes, and we should always be striving to compete for the biggest trophies. There are steps to take but we are in a good place to take them.
Weve got a fantastic group of players, and we believe they have the required standards of talent, commitment and determination to be successful here. They love being at the club, and we can see how badly they want it; that gives us the confidence to know were really building something and moving in the right direction.
We know weve got what it takes to beat the best teams in this league. Now its about doing that over a full Premier League campaign, while also fighting for every trophy available to us.
I cannot wait to lead the group forward next season and for those special European nights to return to Old Trafford. We are ready to kick on and give you more of the great moments that United are all about.
