Fulham boss Jol happy for ex-Spurs pair Carrick, Berbatov over Man Utd success

Fulham boss Martin Jol is looking forward to facing two of his former Tottenham players at Manchester United tonight.

Dimitar Berbatov and Michael Carrick are among those that could be involved for the Red Devils, players Jol knows well from his time at White Hart Lane.

"I think Berbatov has done at United what he did for Spurs, which is score goals," he said. "Of course it is at a different level, but overall he has done well even though it is difficult for him to get a regular spot in the team.

"For Carrick it is different. He was one of the last youngsters at West Ham and we got him for not a lot of money and he never looked back.

"He was always playing for me, went for big money to United and was a regular and won all the prizes. That is what he wanted and he did it."
