Rio Ferdinand sits down with former team mate Michael Carrick to discuss his role during one of the most succesful periods of Manchester United's recent history.

After reminiscing about nights out as West Ham youngsters and dealing with an interruption from their former manager, the pair discuss how Carrick and Paul Scholes used to break games down together in the Manchester United midfield.

Rio asks his former team mate to pick his favourite season of playing with Cristiano Ronaldo and Carrick reveals the difference in approach from being his team mate to being his coach during his second spell at the club.

Carrick also analyses Kobbie Mainoo and names his best position in Ruben Amorim's system plus reserves special praise for two players he coached at the club, Bruno Fernandes and Scott McTominay.

After discussing the impact that Sir Alex Ferguson had on his career, Carrick reveals something from his childhood which meant the boss knew he could cope with the demands of playing at one of the biggest clubs in the world.

The pair also have a laugh whilst reminiscing about the time spent with team mates Wayne Rooney, John O'Shea, Edwin Van der Sar, Nemanja Vidic, Paul Scholes, Michael Owen at the training ground on Thursday afternoons studying for their coaching badges.
