Michael Carrick: Between the Lines: My Autobiography

by Michael Carrick

Even meaningless games like the next day against Al-Jaber’s side, Al-Hilal, at King Fahd Stadium gave me another glimpse into Sir Alex’s greatness, and why this United team were always so competitive. More than 65,000 people turned up to salute Al-Jaber and we should have drawn when we had a penalty in the last minute. Danny Welbeck paused as he ran in and tried to dink it down the middle but he got it wrong and it went over and casualness like that sent the Boss nuts. Welbz was a kid, only 17, but the manager was proper raging with him. I just stared at Sir Alex as he tore into Welbz. There was nothing forced or fake about the Boss’s anger. No one cared about the game. But it was a point of principle for Sir Alex.

Welbz lmaooooo
