""It won't be copy and paste," he said. "I'm never one that likes to say 'same again' because it's never, ever the same again. Even if you come in half time and you've had a good performance for 45 minutes, the second half is not the same. "We kept the game in good places last week and credit to the boys for that. But we've got to build on it. If we are our best, we feel we've got a good chance.""
""Yes, I've spoken to him," said Carrick. "We're close. We've been through a lot together, so he's been fully supportive as you would expect. "He's some man and I respect him an awful lot. He wished us all the best and was happy that we got the right result. Carrick knows Solskjaer is "there if ever I need him" but admits he is "not one that bothers a lot of people"."
Michael Carrick was chosen to take over Manchester United until the summer, with senior staff citing his on-the-pitch coaching as a decisive factor. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, overlooked for the role, contacted Carrick to offer congratulations and support after United's 2-0 derby victory. Carrick plans to rely on his existing coaching team, including Steve Holland and Jonathan Woodgate, to prepare tactics for the upcoming trip to the Emirates against Arsenal. Carrick emphasized that tactics will not be a simple repeat of the City game and stressed the need to build on the victory while aiming to be at their best.
