Understated, and often under-rated, Carrick has become a lynchpin of the United engine room, enjoying arguably his best season to date in 2011\/12.<BR><BR>In his debut campaign of 2006\/07, he carved out a formidable partnership with Paul Scholes and began to mature into one of English football&#39;s most sophisticated and classy passing midfielders. Thereafter, he confounded those who had said he would slip down the pecking order following Owen Hargreaves&#39; arrival in 2007.<BR><BR>The first of Carrick&#39;s title triumphs with United was also the maiden honour of his professional career, although he did win the FA Youth Cup with West Ham in 1999, scoring twice in the 9-0 two-legged final demolition of Coventry City.<BR><BR>West Ham loaned him out to Swindon the following season, and then Birmingham in 2000\/01, as he earned a nomination for the PFA Young Player of the Year, eventually won by Liverpool&#39;s Steven Gerrard.<BR><BR>Carrick spent much of the 2002\/03 season sidelined with injury and subsequently decided to stay with the club the following season &#8211; despite relegation out of the top flight. However, after losing the 2004 play-off final to Crystal Palace, Carrick decided he couldn&#39;t wait another year for a return to the Premier League and moved across London to join Tottenham in a transfer worth &#163;2.75m.<BR><BR>He blossomed into an accomplished midfielder in two seasons at White Hart Lane but the lure of United was impossible to resist as he was encouraged to head north by Sir Alex Ferguson&#39;s determination to bring him to Old Trafford.<BR><BR>A calming influence and the master of the interception, he weighs in with the occasional goal - his first was a well-taken half-volley against Aston Villa in early 2007 before a strike against Reading in the FA Cup was shortlisted for the club&#39;s Goal of the Season award. A rare brace was secured in the memorable 7-1 rout of Roma in the Champions League.<BR><BR>Carrick may have only scored three goals in 2007\/08 but his all-round contribution to the cause could not be questioned as the Reds were crowned champions of England and Europe. Little wonder then, that club and player agreed a new four-year deal in May 2008, to extend his stay in M16.<BR><BR>After missing nine games early in the 2008\/09 season with an ankle injury, the Geordie returned to establish himself as the focal point of United&#39;s midfield, finishing with 43 appearances in all competitions and scoring a crucial May winner at Wigan during the title run-in.<BR><BR>His fourth campaign with United proved more difficult, not least when an injury crisis at the club forced him to take up an emergency role in the back four. However, he responded in style, first at West Ham where the Reds won 4-0 and then away to Wolfsburg where he proved his versatility. <BR><BR>The midfielder agreed to extend his stay at Old Trafford again at the beginning of March 2011, when he signed a new three-year deal to keep him at the club until the end of the 2013\/14 campaign.<BR><BR>Though he failed to score in 2010\/11, the first barren season of his United career, he was particularly effective after Christmas in a more defensive midfield role, as he helped the Reds reclaim the title. This form improved in 2011\/12 as Carrick once again asserted his authority in the centre of the park. Making 40 appearances, the English playmaker enjoyed probably his finest personal campaign at the club - even if it ended in title heartbreak.<\/P>","56D1193A280251FE":"Middlesbrough","2EC2CE09DA225C510B8476426035EFA9":"<STRONG>Football League Division One Champions\uff1a<\/STRONG>1994&#8211;95<BR><BR><STRONG>Football League Second Division Champions<\/STRONG>\uff1a1926&#8211;27,1928&#8211;29,1973&#8211;74<BR><STRONG>Runners up<\/STRONG>\uff1a1901&#8211;02,1991&#8211;92<BR><BR><STRONG>Football League Third Division Runners up<\/STRONG>\uff1a1966&#8211;67,1986&#8211;87 <BR><BR><STRONG>FA Cup Runners up<\/STRONG>\uff1a1997<BR><BR><STRONG>League Cup Winners<\/STRONG>\uff1a2004<BR><STRONG>Runners up\uff1a<\/STRONG>1992\uff0c1997<BR><BR><STRONG>UEFA Cup Runners up\uff1a<\/STRONG>2005 <BR><BR><STRONG>Anglo-Scottish Cup Winners\uff1a<\/STRONG>1975-76 <BR><BR><STRONG>Kirin Cup Winners\uff1a<\/STRONG>1980","A71E2A228B763CFB":"Middlesbrough","03A7D9C89753B0D1380A64764519199FB9772FF9B422CB1E":"1","84FBAAA541406939DA36722337FBDFD18D691C310C47982D":"1876-2-18","90CF36599B563A1AA6EE0398DF07A98F":"Cellnet Riverside Stadium,Middlesbrough,Cleveland,TS3 6RS","F4582884020ECEA691D8D46CC172E947":"188cm","5232E2CC9B16F53977588D5F27A411B8":"<P>Middlesbrough Football Club (\/\u02c8m\u026ad\u0259lzbr\u0259\/) is a professional association football club based in Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, England. They are currently competing in the EFL Championship, the second tier of English football. Formed in 1876, they have played at the Riverside Stadium since 1995, their third ground since turning professional in 1889. They played at the Linthorpe Road ground from 1882 to 1903 and at Ayresome Park for 92 years, from 1903 to 1995.<BR><BR>They were one of the founding members of the Premier League in 1992 and became one of the first clubs to be relegated from it following the 1992&#8211;93 season. The club came close to folding in 1986 after experiencing severe financial difficulties before it was saved by a consortium led by then board member and later chairman Steve Gibson. The club&#39;s main rivals are Sunderland and Newcastle United. There is also a rivalry with fellow Yorkshire club Leeds United.<BR><BR>Middlesbrough won the League Cup in 2004, the club&#39;s first and only major trophy. They reached the 2006 UEFA Cup Final, but were beaten by Spanish side Sevilla. The club&#39;s highest league finish to date was third in the 1913&#8211;14 season and they have only spent two seasons outside the Football League&#39;s top two divisions.<BR><BR>The club&#39;s traditional kit is red with white detailing. The various crests throughout the club&#39;s history, the most recent of which was adopted in 2007, incorporate a lion rampant.<\/P>","32EED5AE2B03C17AE9CE11F4F5F2936F":"Middlesbrough","37FE64B882E92ECB":"Middlesbrough","7C314F98A46E5CCF80F8B8125BB0A065":"2022-10-25","1CD1A53514962B6A":"1","87C021F1E71FC6CD6E05BF0B3DD05793":"74kg","892B81E13FEE84C5":"","4215859A20E707AF2C0683BB3A054242":"18","F84B1B8AF3973AEE":"1","A3B3C821F4815DD2":"226","41780118C08E58E3":"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&view=map&q=Riverside+Stadium&sll=54.975465,-1.621878&sspn=0.00258,0.006866&ie=UTF8&ll=54.578231,-1.216779&spn=0.002605,0.006866&t=h&z=17","D769ED524110EC21":"Michael Carrick","23A207CDBA5674BBB1C9F6E64605564A":"Michael Carrick","3D3B712BD7BB3346233C27994E5E2815":"1981-7-28","6B02481E401D41DD8A44F7EAE1BDE140":"Manchester United","e_index":3};
