Michael Carrick<\/a> is hoping that he does not need to fill in as a makeshift defender for Manchester United<\/a>.<\/p>\n

John O’Shea and Rafael sustained hamstring injuries during the victory over Marseille on Tuesday, which further added to the defensive problems for the Red Devils.<\/p>\n

And Carrick, who played in defence during an injury crisis last season, hopes to avoid a similar situation this time around.<\/p>\n

“It did get a mention in the changing room,” Carrick told MUTV<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“I said to assistant manager Mike Phelan ‘I don’t fancy that again’.<\/p>\n

“It is never nice to get the injuries of course. It is disappointing when you pick up a number in a similar position.<\/p>\n

“But I don’t think we are that desperate yet and hopefully I won’t be called upon.”<\/p>\n
