(MENAFN- Kora) United crashed out of europe on wednesday after losing 3-1 to defending champions bayern munich in the return leg of their quarter-final which completed a 4-2 aggregate defeat.
David moyes' men went ahead on aggregate just shy of the hour mark courtesy of patrice evra's stunning left-footed effort.
But united's joy was short lived as bayern hit back through mario mandzukic within 22 seconds. the bundesliga champions duly added a further two goals to settle the tie.
"it's bitterly disappointing we put ourselves in a great position after scoring the first goal" said carrick.
"it was a big blow to concede again after 22 seconds.
"wayne (rooney) had a great chance to score again later on and it didn't go for us.
"the high of scoring and conceding is a blow but it is something we had to deal with and we were still well in the game the second goal was a bit of a killer."
United are seventh in the premier league seven points adrift of fourth-placed arsenal and look set to miss out on a spot in europe's most prestigious club competition for the first time since 1995-96.?
