Carrick issues Rooney warning
Michael Carrick says his Manchester United team-mates must not be sidetracked by the furore over Wayne Rooney.
The England striker has revealed his desire to leave Old Trafford, creating a frenzy of media speculation and comment.But United midfielder Carrick knows that cannot deflect his team-mates' focus now."You have to distance yourself from it," he said. "You have no choice."Obviously, the player and the club are huge, not just in England but around the world. It is big news."But we can only control what happens out on the pitch. That is all we can be focussed on."funny atmosphere
Carrick has not spoken to Rooney - a team-mate for both club and country - since it became apparent the striker no longer wishes to remain at Old Trafford.The midfielder acknowledges it is hardly his place to get involved in the matter.However, he did concede it had a strange effect on the crowd as United hosted Turkish side Bursaspor in the champions League on Wednesday, even if it did not alter the eventual outcome with sir Alex Ferguson's men securing a 1-0 win."It was a funny atmosphere," Carrick said."But we had a job to do. We needed to get a result that would put us in a better position for the group. Nothing changed in that respect. "I certainly didn't see it as extra pressure. We have that anyway."
