On the latest episode of The Devils’ Advocate podcast from BBC Radio Manchester, Joe McGrath and Gaz Drinkwater discuss how Michael Carrick’s approach with the Manchester United squad is helping get the best out of his players.<\/p>\n

“You can see that Carrick has probably spent a good amount of one-on-one time with individual players,” McGrath said.<\/p>\n

“This is someone who is creating relationships individually with these United stars so they are working for him but also Carrick is working for them.”<\/p>\n

Drinkwater said: “A couple of players have mentioned when they’re talking about Michael Carrick, how he tells them the things that they’re good at rather than necessarily correcting the things they’re not so great at.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know what’s being said behind closed doors but Lisandro Martinez in particular said that he speaks to the heart.<\/p>\n

“I think that when you pump players up and fill them with confidence, this is what you’re going to get from them.”<\/p>\n
