A late goal by Michael Carrick gave Manchester United a 2-1 victory over resilient VfL Wolfsburg in Champions League Group B on Wednesday.

Bosnian striker Edin Dzeko handed the German champions a shock lead with a fine header 10 minutes into the second half.

But Ryan Giggs cancelled that out with a deflected free kick for his 150th Manchester United goal three minutes later.

Twelve minutes before the end, midfielder Carrick collected a pass from Giggs to sweep a shot into the top corner and earn United a hard-fought victory, their second of the group stage.
