United statement:
"Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur can confirm they have agreed terms for the transfer of Michael Carrick conditional on the player agreeing personal terms with Manchester United."
Fergie:
"Michael Carrick's arriving. He'll do his medical on Monday.
"Hopefully that will be concluded by the end of the day and at the end of the week hopefully we'll have a press conference.
"If we get the business done he'll travel to Amsterdam with us and that'll be his first game.
"He's a good footballer.
"He's a Manchester United player as far as the football is concerned. I think that showed in his appearance for England.
"I think he'll bring passing alternative to the way we play football."
Spurs manager Martin Jol:
"This is a move that Michael wants to make.
"We have given him every reason to stay, but he has asked to be allowed to leave."
Nigel Winterburn (former team-mate):
"He has certainly got fantastic talent and I am sure he is going to be a big asset to Manchester United. When they play in the Premiership they have a lot of possession, usually more than 50%, so they need creative players. When they go into the Champions League and come up against good teams will he still have that influence? I hope he can develop his game.
"The main part of his game is long and short passing with both feet. At times when I was at West Ham I was waiting for him, in games where we were struggling, to take games by the scruff of the neck and change them round like Vieira did at Arsenal, but I don't think that's his style. He's not a big tackler. He can get forward but he will probably more sit in front of the back four and support and look to get on the ball."
