""I don't want to get carried away with all the DNA kind of thing. We wanted to play well and put things into the game that we thought would help that," Carrick told Sky Sports. "I couldn't ask for any more. The boys took everything on tactically and dealt with it emotionally. I said yesterday it [Old Trafford] was a magic place and it certainly was today.""
""It's as close as we could have hoped for coming into the game. Change is not easy. Then to perform off the back of it," Carrick added. "I had a real sense in the last few days how desperate the players were to give that feeling of success to the fans. If anything, I was concerned that feeling would go over the top because they are so keen to do well. "But they managed the emotional side of the game unbelievably well. That made me proud, to watch my team have that feeling.""
