Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick has insisted that he and his teammates are ready to work under new manager David Moyes.

The Scot will replace the outgoing Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford and has already been at the club's training ground.

"As players we are embracing the challenge," BBC Sport quotes him as saying.

"For so long we have had the stability of knowing what to expect. We could turn up for pre-season and know how we would be preparing.

"There are going to be certain things that are new. But many will stay the same of course because there is a structure there and there is not a lot wrong."

United won the Premier League this season in Ferguson's final year in football management.
