Michael Carrick: It's a strange feeling

Michael Carrick admitted it was something of a "strange night" as Manchester United lost 2-1 at Hull City but secured passage to the EFL Cup final with a 3-2 aggregate win.

The Reds booked a date with Southampton at Wembley on 26 September despite seeing the 17-game unbeaten run come to an end at the KCOM Stadium.

"It’s a bit of a strange feeling, if I’m honest," Carrick conceded to MUTV, after Oumar Niasse's late goal gave the Tigers victory on the night.

"As a one-off game we’re very disappointed with losing but the bigger picture is we’re going to the cup final and we can take plenty of delight from that.
