After confirming superiority over their domestic rivals for the third season on the trot last weekend, United are preparing for next Wednesday's eagerly anticipated showdown with Barcelona in Rome.
No side has retained the European Cup since AC Milan in 1990 and, until the Red Devils did it this season, no holder of the trophy had even reached the final a year later since Juventus did it in 1997.
Such rare occurrences leave Carrick in no doubt victory on 27th May would elevate the current United side into the pantheon of great teams.
something good
"If we did the double again this year, it would be more special," said the England midfielder.
"It was almost unbelievable to do it last year. To do it two years on the bounce would suggest we are a great team.
"Teams have won Champions Leagues in the past but if you do it alongside winning your domestic league, twice, it really suggests you have something good going."
"The feeling of winning drives you," said the former Tottenham player.
"That feeling when you have been successful and you are going to lift the trophy becomes addictive.
"Nothing can replace that feeling. The buzz after Moscow last season was incredible.
"I would say if we do it again this year it would be even better, just because we have done it before and know how tough it is to win it."
