"At this club we want to win every game and we go into every game expecting to win, but it's tough to win all four competitions."
"It hasn't been done, but this club is always making history and breaking new ground."
"It hasn't been done, but this club is always making history and breaking new ground."
Michael Carrick references the amazing journey that Manchester United are on this season, aiming their sites at the English Premier League (currently sitting two points up on Liverpool, with a game at hand), the European Champions League (currently in the round of 16), the FA Cup (currently in the quarterfinals) and the Carling Cup (set to play Tottenham Hotspur in March for the Final). United secured their place in the FA Cup quarterfinals today with a 4-1 away victory over Derby County.
Only one club has won the 'treble' - the league, Champions League and FA Cup - and that was United in 1999.
As Carrick mentions, it takes more than just having the strongest team in England and possibly Europe.
"It hasn't happened before because so many things can go wrong. It's difficult, especially in cup competitions because one slip and you can be out."
