As he left the pitch to the echoes of the song United fans created for him when he first arrived as a player in 2006, Carrick was able to reflect on a day that could hardly have gone any better. "It's a great start, there's no getting away from that," he said, smiling."
"He has also been around long enough to not get too carried away by the outcome of one high-profile game. "Consistency is the key to any success," he said. "If you can find that you're on to a winner. "We're not going to have games with the emotion and feeling that today brought. We all understand that. "But there's definitely a standard and expectation we need to live up to. That's our challenge.""
