Carrick: Winning the league is always the priority

Despite starting the new year with a defeat, Michael Carrick admits the priories of the club haven’t changed. The Premier League is always the number one priority, followed closely by the Champions League and then the domestic cups.

The midfielder wants to win as much silverware as possible in 2010 and make it four titles in a row.

“Our first aim in 2010 is to win the league again,” says Carrick. “It’s always been the first thing we’ve set out to do and to win four in a row would be amazing,” he told manutd.com.

“Then there’s the Champions League. Given how tough it is to be successful, our record over the last few years has been very good. We also want to do well in the Carling Cup. We want to get our hands on as much as possible.”

Michael Carrick is a traditionally slow starter in the league and admits it’s this part of the season that he enjoys most because of the importance of each game.

“It gets earlier each year! This season has been strange with some odd results. But it’s a vital time, the manager has stressed that to us, although most of us have been here before.

“We know how important it is. It’s always three more vital points or the next round of a cup, so every game becomes more important.”
