Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick is delighted with his current form.

Carrick missed the first three months of the season after undergoing ankle surgery in July but since his comeback, United have lost once to Manchester City and won six successive games.

The Geordie told the United Review: "I feel good and I feel fresh. Obviously I missed a lot of football at the start of the season, but I'm enjoying it.

"When you're out for so long you really miss it, so I am just happy to be back playing and looking forward to the games ahead. You just try to play your own game.

"When you're out for so long, you do think about how your return will go and it's hard to judge where you're at in terms of fitness and match sharpness, but things have gone alright."
