On-loan striker Michael Bridges has urged fellow forward Danny Graham to stay on at Carlisle as their partnership continues to flourish.Both strikers were on target as United claimed an impressive 2-0 victory at Leeds, but Graham's future remains uncertain following recent transfer speculation.

Bridges told the club's official website: "It's really coming together now, but if you listen to the rumours then how long it will last is another story.

"I think he's just put another £50,000 on his head with that performance and goal, and he also got an assist with my goal.

"Hopefully he will stay, but he's done himself no harm if bigger clubs are watching him.

"Like I say, hopefully the rumours are wrong and he hangs around, because I am enjoying the partnership with him".
