Manchester United coach Michael Carrick is enjoying working with Kieran McKenna.

The pair are acting assistants for manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

He told manutd.com: "I'm really enjoying it. Kieran's coaching… I saw it a few years ago when he was coaching the Under-18s and I was still playing. On international breaks when there aren't many players left, you end up training with the Under-23s and Under-18s and Kieran would take a lot of those sessions.

"I'd seen with my own eyes what a good coach he was. He's helped me through immensely and I've leant on him a lot. Coaching was new to me, but I knew the environment and could help him with that, but the coaching side of it, he's been terrific.

"I've got a lot to thank him for and I've learnt a lot from him. I have leant on him an awful lot. We've got a nice mix as a coaching group at the moment, so there's a nice spirit and we look after each other, which helps us all improve."
