Carrick believes those young players will be better for the experience with United and then reserved praise for Dorgu, who was starting his first game in four months, and Mount, who was making just his second start under Carrick.
“It gives us confidence, without getting carried away and taking anything for granted,” he said of recent results. “We’ve had a good spell, but I do think, again, experience, especially for the younger players, you can’t put a price on what a season or two in this league and playing for Manchester United, dealing with that and learning and understanding what it feels like to then perform really, and the boys have shown that.
“I think Patrick especially, it was a massive setback for him at the time when he got injured, but the way he’s just got on with it. It’s incredible to think he’s so young still. To come back like he did today is great.
“I have to say, I thought Mason in particular as well, coming and playing midfield, I was delighted for him. I thought he did ever so well and Kobbie just keeps improving all the time.”
