Carrick to face Inter?

Last updated : 27 July 2006 By Editor

The question everyone is pondering over right now is, will the game feature Michael Carrick, fresh from his holidays after the World Cup in Germany.

Jermain Defoe who missed out this summer is ahead of his teammate in terms of pre-season preparation time. He told Tottenham's official website: "We showed last season that there's a great bunch of lads here, a young squad and an excellent team spirit."

"What he (Carrick) did for us last season was unbelievable," added the striker. (The Sun)

Carrick is in contract talks with the club, but Manchester United are very keen to prise the midfielder away.
