Ramos ready to bring Carrick back to White Hart Lane for £18m

England midfielder Carrick is one of the players Ramos has targeted to provide the creative spark that the Spurs side are currently lacking to turn their season around.

The Daily Telegraph reports that the ex-Sevilla coach is prepared to pay Manchester United £18 million to resign the midfielder who left the club to move to Old Trafford just 16 months ago.

United, however, would stand to lose £600,000 having splashed out £18.6m for the former West Ham player's signature last July.

Carrick, who was overlooked by England coach Steve McClaren for the double-header of matches with Austria and Croatia, has held down a regular place in the United team this season.

That has been in no small part to Owen Hargreaves' current injury problems which has seen the former Bayern Munich midfielder forced to withdraw from England duty this week.

Carrick also faces competition from summer arrival Anderson this season, but the 26-year-old has welcomed the added pressure and has said he knows just how determined the young players are to land a first-team place at Old Trafford.

"It wasn't that long ago I was in the same position, trying to establish myself," he said.

"I have seen these boys in training for the last year or so and I know how much quality they have got.

"There is no better place to learn your trade than here. I am sure they will improve bundles just by having the opportunity to train with some of the lads we have here."

i dont believe this will ever go through but i think there may be some truth in the rumor and its been in a few papers

I doubt this very much! well I hope not! lol

They're havin a laugh...really let's get serious

Carrick is a necessary detail of MU machine so he could no go back to spurs. More, Fergusson will never sell him after only 16 months playing. It was a big investition in middle line of the team so Carrick have to work a lot to prove the deal last summer was right.

a swap for berbatov .. might happen ..

he's better than fletcher .. he stays ..

[plastik]

Never happen ... No one is sure how Hargreaves will pan out. For Berbatov I'd be tempted, but I'd rather bring in a striker of Saha's quality.

[darren*]

i think so too

Interesting rumour, but i doubt it will go through. Carrick is an essential part of the midfield rotation United now have. Having said that if it gets us Berbatov i dont mind. Id prefer we swapped the likes of Brown and Saha just because the want to go or they should be going.

i dont want carrick to go i think when he gets a run of games he will be as good as last season if not better
