Carrick content to win ugly for now

MICHAEL CARRICK is delighted Manchester United have learned how to win ugly.

The England midfielder played a leading role at the Liberty Stadium as United ground out a victory that was far from convincing.

However, after the calamity of last month’s humiliating 6-1 defeat at the hands of Premier League leaders Manchester City, United were grateful to escape from Wales with maximum points. “We are happy to have won although we weren’t at our best,” said Carrick.
