Michael Carrick reflected on the win against Palace
After the stellar victory, Manchester United coach Michael Carrick took centre stage and heaped praise on his side for showing character and putting in a good show against Crystal Palace.ย
“Absolutely delighted for Ben. It’s certainly not been a headache, it’s not been a big drama. He’s had a huge impact, and he’s making big improvements. A little bit is getting used to what it is like to be here and the feelings and what it means to play. Things that we can take for granted at times,โ Carrick was quoted as saying by BeIN Sports
“He’s desperate to do well, he works so hard, he’s an absolute pleasure to work with. Today, he started, and it was an absolutely fantastic goal. He’s bringing an awful lot,โ he added.ย ย
