United focused on season opener, says Carrick
Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick has insisted he and his team-mates are focused on their Premier League season opener against Swansea City on August 17.
The Red Devils will take on AIK Fotboll in Sweden, on Tuesday evening, ahead of Rio Ferdinand's testimonial on Friday.
They will also face Wigan in the FA Community Shield at Wembley this Sunday, before starting their title defence against the Swans at the Liberty Stadium, the following weekend.
"Now is the time when you really start thinking about that first game of the season," Carrick told the club's official website.
"We've been back from the main part of the tour for a few days now and everyone is focused on that first game."
