Carrick: United nowhere near good enough in Midtjylland humbling

Manchester United suffered a defeat to Midtjylland and Michael Carrick conceded his side did not deserve a better result.

A disconsolate Michael Carrick was left furious with Manchester United's performance in a 2-1 Europa League defeat to Midtjylland.

Memphis Depay gave Louis van Gaal's side a first-half lead in the first leg of the last-32 tie, but goals from Pione Sisto and Ebere Paul Onuachu secured a surprising yet deserved victory for the Danish champions on home soil.

Carrick has challenged his teammates to overturn the deficit at Old Trafford next Thursday in order to keep their hopes of lifting the trophy alive and restore some belief to an injury-ravaged side that has won just two of its last six matches.
