Carrick heaped praise on Mainoo after the clash

After the game, Carrick came forward and talked about how delighted he was to hear the comments from Mainoo, and he further outlined his responsibility to get the best out of the players. 

"I think that’s one of the biggest things for me, is trying to get the best out of people, and helping players and giving them the opportunity to go and perform and do what they’re good at really. There’s that side and then there’s obviously being part of it today and seeing this place alive and bouncing at the end is a real joy and a pleasure to be in the position,” Carrick said. 

"I think as a group of players, they need a lot of credit for the run they’re putting together and the coaching staff as well, especially for the lot of work that goes on,” he added.
