Watch: Carrick hails players’ resilience after Man United seal UCL last-16 spot

Manchester United’s caretaker manager Michael Carrick praised his players for picking up an important result after an emotional few days following the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Watch Carrick’s post-match presser here.

“It’s not an important result for me personally. It’s an important one for the players and the club,” said Carrick after the 2-0 win in Spain.

“It’s been an emotional few days. The first person I spoke to after Ed (Woodward) offered me the job was Ole, to see what he thought about it. That was the right thing to do.

“I have a responsibility to be here managing the team and I take great pride in doing that.”
