United "ready to move on" says Carrick

Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick says the team are “ready to move on” post Sir Alex Ferguson’s final game in charge as they played out a thrilling 5-5 draw against West Brom on sunday.

“We’ll have a nice rest in the summer and start again on 3 July when we report back for training.” said Carrick, who captained United against the Baggies.

“It’s a bit funny in the dressing room because of the situation,” added Carrick.

“We’ve thanked the manager for everything he’s done and he’s thanked us.

“The manager wanted to win but with the job we’ve done this season, I’m sure he can retire very satisfied.”

Speaking about the future, England international Carrick said: “We’re ready to move on and there are new challenges for all of us.

“We’re looking forward to it. We’ve had enough time to digest the title celebrations, the news about the manager and [Paul Scholes] retiring. We have to move forward.”

Ferguson declined to talk to the media post the dramatic game.
