Michael Carrick feels blessed to count Fabio Capello and Sir Alex Ferguson as his managers.[LNB]In three years working with Ferguson at Manchester United, Carrick has amassed a hat-trick of titles, reached successive Champions League finals and even been crowned a world champion.[LNB]Now he is hoping to transfer some of that success to the international stage with England, where Capello has made a similar impact in a far shorter period of time.[LNB]"They both have that real presence and aura about them," he said. "When they say something everyone listens and takes note.[LNB]"Sometimes they don't have to say anything, just their presence or reaction comes across really strongly to the players. It brings a respect. It is not a fear but a feeling that spurs you on to do well.[LNB]"In some ways, it is like a kick up the backside. You know that you have always got to be on your toes and performing well."
