Michael Carrick believes Manchester United's players showed their character as they delivered a 2-0 win over Villarreal in the first game since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's sacking on Sunday.

Late goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho - his first for the club - sent United into the last 16 of the Champions League as group winners - following Atalanta's 3-3 draw with Young Boys later in the evening - and lifted the mood after a dismal few weeks.

Manchester United are searching for a new manager and Mauricio Pochettino has said he is "so happy" at Paris Saint-Germain and will not allow The Red Devil's interest distract him from his current role.

Nigel De Jong was a guest on today's edition of 'The Football Show' and discussed last night's performance as well as the future for United.
