Carrick ready to step back into Man Utd defence

Michael Carrick is ready to step into Manchester United's defence for their clash with Arsenal.

With Marcos Rojo joining Jonny Evans (ankle) and Phil Jones (shin splints) on the sidelines, however, Carrick is preparing to drop into defence once again.

"If I need to play there then fine," he said this week. "I have not had a lot of football recently so I will play anywhere.

"It's not somewhere I have played an awful lot of games. I have had spells of playing there over the years, playing two or three or four games in a season. But I don't mind."
