Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick takes a close interest in his old team Tottenham and agrees with general opinion that current Spurs boss Harry Redknapp is the ideal candidate for the England job. Carrick returns to White Hart Lane with United as the Reds look to continue their unbeaten Premier League record.
"He's certainly getting a good few mentions," said the midfielder.
"I'm sure he's focused on bringing success to Spurs. It's a great job for him at the moment.
"We will see what is in the future but he is doing a good job and is certainly not doing himself any harm if that is what he wants to do."
Carrick spent two years at Tottenham, and just missed out on the Champions League in 2006.
"Even when I was there, you used to get compared to teams of the past," he said.
"It was not a problem. It is a major part of the club.
"At the time, they had a few funny years, so for us to go into the last game with a chance of getting into the top four was a big achievement. That was seen as success.
"But the longer you go, the measurement of success changes.
"For them to get into the Champions League and do what they have done this season, will mean the expectation level rises again.
"They have got the squad and have adapted well to the demands of playing in the Champions League and coming back to play league games.
"Now it is up to them to be consistent over the course of a season, which is what you need if you are going to be successful."
