Carrick insists Man Utd will fight-back this season

Michael Carrick is confident Manchester United will bounce back from last season's dismal campaign.

Carrick was frustrated with United's inconsistent form, costing them Champions League football, but still believes his team-mates can compete with the top sides in England.

"Yes, it's not a nice feeling when things don't go right," the midfielder told Sky Sports News. "You give your best as everyone did, sometimes it just doesn't go for us and that was the case over too long a time really.

"You have dips and you expect to get over them quick - and at times we showed that we were going to get over them - and then just as results and performances were changing we took a step back again. That was very frustrating.

"Looking back it was a disappointing campaign, but we've got to learn from it. Never stop learning and take what we can.

"We've still certainly got enough quality in the squad anyway, regardless of who is coming in this summer, to be up there challenging again."
