Michael Carrick was pleased to finally end a run of three Premier League draws as Manchester United recorded a narrow 1-0 victory over Tottenham at Old Trafford.
The hosts broke the deadlock on the half-hour as Henrikh Mkhitaryan fired a powerful rising effort beyond the diving Hugo Lloris for his first Premier League goal.
Paul Pogba's free-kick rattled the woodwork midway through the second half, moments before he was thwarted by Lloris, while opposite number David De Gea held out a curling effort from Christian Eriksen at the other end as the home side held on for maximum points.
