Michael Carrick has refused to put a fixed target on what Manchester United should achieve in the Champions League.

According to L'Equipe, the English coach feels his team have the quality to make a deep run in the competition.

He chose to leave expectations open rather than attach them to any specific milestone.

Carrick indicated he has belief in his squad, while stopping short of setting a clear finishing point.

His position allows scope for further progress while keeping the club's objectives flexible.
