(Reuters) - Michael Carrick has agreed with manager Louis van Gaal's damning assessment of Manchester United's performance in their 3-0 defeat by Arsenal on Sunday, but insists the team will come back stronger after the international break.

The Gunners blew United away in the first 20 minutes at the Emirates Stadium, moving up to second in the Premier League table, above United on goal difference, thanks to two goals from Alexis Sanchez on either side of a strike from Mesut Ozil.
