Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick praised Arsenal goalkeeper Manuel Almunia after last night's 1-0 win.

"I'm frustrated especially because in the first half we created a number of opportunities," said Carrick, who provided John O'Shea's first-half goal. "But the 'keeper (Manuel Almunia) pulled off good saves and things didn't go in. On another day we might have scored more.

"We know it will be tough there next week because they are a good side and the last couple of years we haven't had great results there. Hopefully we can turn that record around."
