Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick says the players are desperate to win the Europa League.

United defend a 1-0 aggregate lead tonight in the second-leg of their semifinal against Celta Vigo.

"I'm personally desperate to get to the final and to try and win it," said the 35-year-old, whose United contract expires this summer. "That's the only thing that matters.

"Whatever competition you're in, especially at this club, with the team we've got, we're looking to win it. It's a great opportunity.

"We'll respect who is left in the competition - it's not going to be easy and we're not taking anything for granted at all - but that's got to be the aim.

"There's nothing else that matters."
