Ando set to star – Carrick

(28-12-2010) Michael Carrick has backed in-form Manchester United colleague Anderson to start hitting the back of the net regularly. The Brazilians has scored just two goals in 110 appearances for the Red Devils. But, having started to shoulder more responsibility in United’s midfield now that Paul Scholes nears retirement, Carrick believes the 22-year-old will start to really show why the club paid £18m for him. "Hopefully there are more to come," said the England midfielder. "He has not really mentioned it much. Maybe he is waiting until he has scored a few more. Then we won't be able to shut him up.” Added Carrick: "Ando is just full of life. He bounces around the place. He has been out for long periods but he has come back with a real spring in his step. He is young and his best days are still ahead of him."
