Influential: Michael Carrick scored against Roma in the quarter-final second-leg rout against Roma

On Tuesday he will try to emulate his two spectacular goals against Roma when United meet AC Milan in the Champions League semi-final and manager Ferguson said: "In the last few weeks he has been absolutely sensational and has got me six goals as well.

"We knew about Carrick when he was a gangly kid at Newcastle. He was just a big skin and bones player when he went to West Ham. But you could see he had good talent.

"When he moved to Tottenham you could see more improvement. And last season I thought it was the right time to get him when he was 25.

"Physically he has matured. You can see the strength in him now. I must say the last few weeks he has been brilliant."
