Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick says they cannot to dwell on their defeat at home to Southampton.

Carrick admitted the defeat was a significant blow after an 11-match unbeaten run. But the England midfielder called on his team-mates to bounce back at Loftus Road on Saturday.

Carrick: "For us, it is just about looking at ourselves and getting back to some sort of run and some sort of form that breeds momentum again, so that we are looking upwards and looking ahead again. You don't want to be battling for third or fourth place, we want to be up there, right at the top and that is the challenge that we have got to set ourselves.

"You have to start again. I think regardless of the result, you have to start again from week to week. It is not going to knock us too much because we will learn from the mistakes. We are certainly disappointed but we will look to bounce back next week."
