Man Utd boss Michael Carrick gives a team news update: “Joshua Zirkzee is back training this week which is good news, first time as he’s been out for a short amount of time. Great to have him back.”
“Pat [Dorgu] will be out for a period of time, still working through how long that will be. We weren’t sure whether it was cramp or a little more serious, at the moment it looks a little more on the serious note. How many weeks, we will have to see.”

“Jack doesn’t have to prove anything. He can create chances and has had an excellent season. I’m disappointed for him. Hopefully he will be available for England because these kind of players decide tournaments.”
“It’s a great step to go to Marco’s team. I’m really happy for him. He has quality to play in the Premier League.”
“The Premier League is insane at the moment. The aggression and quality. Each team can create upsets.”
“We know we cannot lose many more games.”

“It’s about us. I’ve been in a few title races and it’s about focusing on your own games.”
