Carrick is seen as the most similar player to Scholes at the club, but he says he won’t be modifying his game specifically in his absence.
“It’s just as you get older and more experienced and mature. It [Scholes’s retirement] doesn’t create extra pressure for me, it’s just a natural progression, especially with our squad being the way it is now. We’ve got a lot of younger players so it’s up to the older ones to set an example of how things should be done, and I suppose I am one of the older ones now.”
