him a bit of a free role in many ways in a partnership with Bruno [Fernandes\] last week, to drift and to fill different spaces. Ben’s very good at playing on the last line and running behind and I think we’ve seen that in recent weeks, he’s done great to get his goal so he’s in a good place. Josh can do a little bit of both, he drifts and plays in the hole, into feet and links. He’s very good at bringing others into play so it’s just different styles. Certain games will have different styles, so it’s great to have that flexibility, for sure. Matheus came on through the middle and made a big difference for us in terms of carrying the game into the later stages and creating the second goal, so we’ve got good options through there and we just felt, last week, that was the way to go and, thankfully, it paid off for us.”



Diogo has had a difficult season and there was frustration with him from the fans, how do you think he’s doing and will settling into right-back help him after being moved around a lot this season?


“I thought he played ever so well last week, I have to say. There was obviously the incident with the yellow card and that was probably after 10 minutes or so, so to go one-to-one with the winger for the rest of the game and to manage that, and to defend as well as he did, it was very impressive, so I was delighted with him last week. I think it’s pretty obvious that there’s been ups and downs with performance, not individually but collectively so it’s not easy to find your rhythm and find your top form individually but Diogo, from what I’ve seen, I’ve known him for a while and seen him this week, he’s really focused. He’s desperate to do well and he loves playing for the club. You can see that. As I say, he played fantastically well last week, so there’s a lot for him to build on.”

You put your arm around Ben last week when he didn’t get on. It felt like you inherited him at a good time, after what Darren [Fletcher\] had done with him. How do you go about managing him when he’s not played for two weeks and risk losing that momentum?


“I don’t think it’s losing momentum, I think, as I said, it was a team for last week to go into the game in a certain way. I think he’s in a good place Ben, he’s trained really well. Obviously, we’re working with him and trying to improve him as much as possible. I’ve been really impressed, to be honest, with the way he’s trained, his finishing and the way he’s gone about it. I don’t see it as anything else other than pushing on and using what he’s just done over the last month or so as a stepping stone and being here for a long time.”

Michael Carrick spoke to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the wake of Manchester derby victory. “I spoke to him. We’re close, we've been through a lot together, so he's been fully supportive as you'd expect. He’s some man and I respect him an awful lot. He wished us all the best and was happy we got the right result.”

Michael Carrick on whether Patrick Dorgu is a full-back or wide attacker: “He can do both, to be honest. He was immense last week. His general play was something we were really pleased about. I wouldn't want to pin him down, to be honest. I think he can do both, but certainly attacking-wise in that threat, he was pretty impressive last week.”

# EVERY WORD FROM PRESS CONFERENCE PART 2

https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/michael-carrick-reveals-conversations-with-ole-gunnar-solskjaer

Big game on Sunday. I think in your four games in charge at this club, you were unbeaten against Guardiola, Tuchel, Emery and Arteta. That’s got to give you confidence going into a game like Sunday’s?
 
“I’ll be honest with you, I think the confidence I’m taking going into the game is what we’ve seen since I’ve been here, between me and my staff, in terms of the game itself, training, how the boys have gone about it. Those games from three or four years ago, it’s done, it’s in the past. So as much as the experience, it kind of helps you in certain moments, I think it’s a totally different game on Sunday, and two teams going into it. Looking forward to it. In good shape.”
 
Ole [Gunnar Solskjaer\], have you actually spoken to him since you came in?
 
“Yeah, yeah I’ve spoken to him. We’re close, we’ve been through a lot together. He’s been fully supportive, as you’d expect. He’s some man, I respect him an awful lot. He wished us all the best, and he was happy that we got the right result.”

Did you pick his brains?
 
“I think, friendships, you have conversations… I’ve got a lot of friends in places that I can pick on if I need to. I’m not that one that bothers a lot of people to be honest, but… He’s certainly there if ever I need.”
 
Game against Man City, very proactive. Arsenal, can you do the same, or do you need to be more passive, bit more reactive, to go toe to toe with them at the Emirates?
 
“It’s playing to what we think the game needs…”
 
Which is?
 
“We’ll have to wait and see! As I said, they’re a good team, and City’s a good team. Attacking-wise, they’ve got different ways of… You know, the whole good width, you attack the box, and cover the width of the box very well, they ask questions with different ways of entering the box, down the sides, side crosses… They’re very well organised, well-drilled, you can see that. I thought we defended the box – when we had to – particularly well last week. We didn’t have to defend the box as long as people may have expected. I think we kept the game in good places for what we wanted to, and credit to the boys for that. Every game is different, there’s an element of that. It’s never the same, even when you come to half-time, you’ve had a good performance for 45 minutes. I’m never one that likes to say “Same again”, because it’s never ever the same again, you’ve got to build on it. It won’t be copy and paste, I think there are new elements that need to come into it, we need to be ready, we need to be at our best. And if we’re at our best, we’re there, we feel we’ve got a good chance.”

Patrick Dorgu has been doing really well recently, do you think his long-term future lies on the wing? Or more as a traditional full-back?
 
“I
think he can do both. To be honest, he was immense last week, his work rate and the way he plays the position, but the threat, constant threat, the goal is the obvious one, but his general play was something we’re really pleased about. So I wouldn’t want to pin him down, because I think he can do both, certainly attacking-wise, and that threat, he was pretty impressive last week.”
 
Casemiro’s departure, deep midfielder, should be an area of recruitment. Fans feel like we’ve missed a Carrick-style midfielder…
 
“Probably were not saying that when I was playing though, were they?” [laughs\]
 
Can you be involved in that process in recruiting that type of midfielder?
 
“Yeah, I’m certainly in this position to do that. I think making decisions for the club moving forward, whatever that may be, I’m fully committed to that. Naturally, as a midfielder, there’s a big tendency towards that anyway, but taking that away from it and now being where I am, in the position that I am, certainly it’ll be part of those conversations moving forward. It’s important we get the next steps right, in terms of moving forward as a team, as a squad, and putting the right things in place. I’ll be part of that in the right way.”
