Carrick: Charlton still big presence at Man Utd

Manchester United assistant coach Michael Carrick says Sir Bobby Charlton remains a big presence around the club.

The Geordie was speaking at the premiere of the documentary 'Busby'.

"He comes into the changing room after every single game," he said. "His support is unwavering.

"Ever since I came to the club that's something that stands out - the support you've got from real legends and icons. Not just from this club, but throughout football.

"Sir Bobby has been a huge support for me personally, but for every single player. Whether it is a good result or bad result he comes and shakes your hand and tells you not to worry, it'll be better next week, or well done and more of the same next week, depending on the result."
