Man Utd 3-2 Nottingham Forest LIVE – United win as Fernandes equals PL assist record

“I’m a supporter as well so regardless of anything I want there to be a lot of good moments.

“I think it’s been pretty clear from what I said a couple of days ago really, it’s the same. Over the coming days there will be clarity over the situation.

“I think today was important for the game and getting the right result and some individuals shining today. Whatever the news is going to be, I’m sure you’ll get it in a few days.”

“Yes, we are planning for next season together. We are working to plan the next season together.

“Of course it’s normal with the media and the speculation. I think we did good work together with the help of our supporters and we have everything to move on and to start to build something stronger for next season.”

“This is an answer I don’t have.

“The market is the market. In the market, everything can happen. What I can say to you is the club wants to keep him playing for us, for sure.

“The club wants to keep almost all of the players because this is a very good group with quality and with character and we have a very good base for next season.”

“It’s a pity that, in the end, the game was decided by a decision that, okay, I must accept because it’s the decision of the referee, but it’s not my opinion. For me, it’s handball. Very clear.

“But he decided not to cancel the goal and for me it was the decision that decided the game.

“I think that he thinks the control in the end was after the touch on the body. I think I must accept but it’s not my opinion. I watched the images and in my opinion, he controlled the ball with the hand and the goal comes from the control.

“If not, they will not have a chance to shoot and score. But in the end this is the doubts we have in this moment in the Premier League about the decisions.

“Handball, we don’t know what is handball or not. The blocks in the box for free-kicks, we don’t know if it’s a foul or not. I think it’s important to have a meeting with everybody and try to understand the rules, the decisions, because I think everybody, all the managers in this moment have doubts about some decisions.”

Carrick continued: “Listen it’s a huge thank you from me for the support this season. We enjoy the ups and we enjoy the downs. The best thing about this place is you lot – the supporters.

“We’ve had some big goals and big days in this place over the last few months. Hopefully there’ll be some more of them.”

The victory today also means United have secured a third-placed finish in the Premier League.

United fans would certainly have taken that a few months ago!

“What a way for us to finish the season at home,” Carrick said to the fans at Old Trafford “We played ever so well today. It’s unbelievable to see this place like this. We’ve had magical days here down the years.

“This is such a good group players. We sacrifice for each other, look after each other and they desperately want to do well.”

“Everyone knew it was important that I could get another assist at least and everyone is trying to score from my passes.

“I’m happy with that but more happy to win and finish the season on a high.”
