Man Utd coach Carrick: I can relate to Chong and Greenwood

Manchester United coach Michael Carrick admits he can related to young pair Tahith Chong and Mason Greenwood.

Both youngsters discussed their determination to improve during the acceptance speeches and Carrick admitted he has a similar frame of mind, at this early stage of his promising and exciting coaching career.

"The interesting thing is, when you listen to Chongy and Mason, talking about starting their careers and working hard, learning as they go, that is kind of me now in the next chapter," Carrick told manutd.com.

“Just because I have played for so long and achieved some things in the game, when you step into that new job and new role it is a new experience. It made me smile a little bit listening to the boys, because that is me now just a few years on."
