ROBSON TIPS CARRICK
BRYAN Robson predicts that United new boy Michael Carrick will eventually prove well worth the £18m that Sir Alex Ferguson shelled out in the summer.
Carrick has made a steady rather than spectacular impact at Old Trafford since his move from Spurs.
"The problem for a player like Michael Carrick joining a new club is that he isn't a dynamic player," Captain Marvel told M.E.N. Sport.
"He is a very intelligent player and is a wonderful passer of the ball but he doesn't have that dynamism that hits you straight between the eyes and makes you an instant hit.
"United fans loved Roy Keane and they took to him right from the moment he arrived at Old Trafford as his game was in your face.
"It was obvious heart on the sleeve stuff and the fans love that. They love a tackler and an aggressive player. It is probably easier for those kinds of guys to make an immediate impression.
"You can take to him straight away because of his aggressive all-action style. Players like Carrick probably have to work that bit harder to catch the eye and it will take longer.
"But you can be sure that he will get there. I think United fans are already starting to appreciate what he can do. They've had to be patient. He will grow on them."
