Carrick happy for Van Persie over Man Utd stunner

Michael Carrick was delighted for Manchester United striker Robin van Persie over his goal in victory against Hull City.

The midfielder was also keen to praise team-mate Robin van Persie after the Dutchman responded to recent criticism from some quarters with a stunning second-half goal against the Tigers.

"It was some strike! It was only really half a chance, but he's controlled it and smashed it into the top corner.

"It's great when the boys up front are creating chances and scoring goals. If we can do what we did on Saturday on a more regular basis we'll be a real threat."
