Manchester United: Michael Carrick plays down Roy Keane jibe and says he won't be influenced by TV pundits
""Jonny Evans leaves Man United four or five weeks ago as a loans manager and then [Darren] Fletcher gives him a job, strangely enough, has two games. "Fletch goes and Carrick gives him a job. Great, isn't it? What has Jonny Evans done to be a coach of Man United's first team? He left the job four weeks ago, loans manager and ironically comes back working with the first team. That's a big step up, isn't it?""
""They're not putting more pressure on me. I don't feel that. There are plenty of opinions around, some positive, some not too much. It's totally irrelevant in terms of what I focus on. I know what we want to improve on, how we want to work with the players. There's a lot that can be said, it's the way of the world. I'm not gonna pay too much attention to that.""
Michael Carrick will take charge of Manchester United for the first time in his second spell as interim boss when they face Manchester City. Roy Keane criticized Carrick's choice of backroom staff, particularly Jonny Evans, and questioned Evans's rapid return from loans manager to first-team coach. Keane also referenced a past social-media spat involving Carrick's wife, Lisa Roughead. Carrick said the remarks did not bother him and that criticism is part of the job at a club like United. Carrick stated that outside opinions are irrelevant to his focus, that he knows what to improve, and that he will not pay much attention to punditry.
