Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick says that he is "looking forward" to working under new manager David Moyes, but admits that it is a "big change".

Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick has admitted that David Moyes coming into the club is a "big change", but has insisted that he is "looking forward" to working under the former Everton boss.

The Scotsman will officially replace Sir Alex Ferguson when he steps down from the helm of Old Trafford in the summer.

"I think [Moyes] has obviously done a terrific job at Everton," Carrick told MUTV. "He's been there for a long time now with great success for the resources that he's had and he's well respected with everyone I spoke to.

"It is an opportunity for him and opportunity for everyone else to maybe do things slightly differently but keep the success rolling on. It's obviously a big change because this club's being run for so long under the same person. I've worked under a few different managers in my past in my career, so I'm sort of used to a little bit of change, but yes, really looking forward to it, to meeting him and getting good training pre-season and hopefully a good future.

"I think he's honest and he's fair to his players as far as I'm aware and I'm sure that's the case. He'll set high standards just as we expect high standards of ourselves and I'm looking forward to working with him."

Ferguson leaves behind a 26-year tenure at United in which he has accumulated 38 trophies.
