Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick praises the club's "amazing" fanbase in Asia.

The Red Devils travel to the Far East next month to play a number of pre-season fixtures ahead of the Premier League campaign.

"It's crazy," Carrick told the club's official website. "One of the reasons I enjoy going there is just to see the reaction of the fans.

"It can take you back a little bit sometimes – even though they live a long way from Manchester the reaction the people give us is amazing."

United begin the defence of their league title at Swansea City on August 17.
