Micah Richards recently claimed that Carew was the most difficult striker to defend against because of his physical presence.

Martin O'Neill acknowledged that Carew adds a lot in terms of team play and people sometimes seem to forget that. People ignore all the good work he does and just look for the negatives.

I will be very interested to see how Villa do, now that there talisman is out injured for six weeks, very interested indeed.

I wouldn't mind seeing out of favour Jermain Defoe at Old Trafford to be honest ...

Yeah Rooney at 5 ft 9, Tevez at 5 ft 6 and Defoe at 5 ft 7

utd need someone like carew.

Villa

You act the fool just to get a reaction, you're not getting it from me anymore.
