Carrick delighted with EFL Cup success

Michael Carrick was bursting with delight and praised match winner Zlatan Ibrahimovic after Manchester United edged past Southampton in a sensational EFL Cup final at Wembley.

The Reds came out on top in a five-goal thriller to secure a fifth League Cup triumph as Ibrahimovic headed home an 87th-minute winner at the national stadium.

And, although Carrick admitted his team could have played better on the day, he was pleased to be on the winning side in a fantastic game and hopes to build on the success, with United still in the hunt to win the Europa League and retain the FA Cup.
