Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick says their young squad will be stronger for this season's campaign.

Carrick has been impressed by the young players making their mark this season.

He told manutd.com: "They've been great. I think it comes from the boss. As soon as you walk through the door here it's drilled into you. Not by somebody telling you every day - but you pick it up just by being in and around the squad, watching how we prepare for games and deal with the pressure. There's no better place to learn that than at Manchester United.

"The young lads who have arrived at the club or come up through the youth ranks have all got huge amounts of ability and, at different times of the season, they've all stood up and played their part. No matter what happens this season they'll end up better for it. The experience they'll gain will be invaluable and stand them in good stead for years to come. Of course, we just hope we can give them the best experience of all and finish off the job and win the league."
