Michael Carrick remains optimistic about Manchester United reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League, following his side’s 1-1 draw with Bayern Munich in their quarter-final first leg last night.
Bastian Schweinsteiger, who was sent off in the closing stages of the match after receiving his second yellow card, scored the equaliser for the German outfit after Nemanja Vidic gave the Red Devils the lead in the 58th minute.
