PAUL GASCOIGNE is tipping Michael Carrick to become Englands new
midfield golden boy.
Manchester United star Carrick will step in for the injured Owen
Hargreaves in todays Euro Championship crunch against
Macedonia.
And Gazza believes his fellow Geordie can set the Old Trafford
stage alight after grabbing his chance to impress.
Gazza, who made his name in Englands Italia 90 World Cup campaign,
insisted: Carricks a great player.
Hes one of these guys who never gives the ball away and hes a
brilliant passer.
He works hard to win the ball and when he gets it he uses it
well.
I was lucky with my international career and Michaels in the same
boat.
A few years ago Neil Webb got injured and I got my chance to play
for England. I made the most of it from there and didnt look
back.
It looks like Michael will get his opportunity against Macedonia
and he deserves it. Hes started the season well and he has to take
his chance while he can.
