CARRICK PLEASED WITH DISPLAYS

Last updated : 15 February 2007 By Ed

Michael Carrick says the balance of the team means his lack of goals this season isn't important.

"If we were struggling and needed to score goals, maybe I would be a little bit more concerned about the need to chip in," he told MUTV.

"But we have a nice balance at the moment. Everyone else has been scoring pretty freely over the past month so the goals situation does not really bother me.

"I have other jobs to do, so it is not much of a concern at all."

Carrick also feels he's really started settling in to the team.

"I am improving," he said.

"I wouldn't say there was a massive difference in the way I am playing compared to Spurs but there is one.

"I am just enjoying being part of this fantastic side. It feels like everyone is playing unbelievably well, so it is understandable I have a lot of confidence.

"It makes it a lot easier to pick people out because you have so many options."
