The Bootle-born defender is sad to see his close friend leave Anfield for the challenge of Spanish giants Real Madrid, but he is determined to look to the future with renewed optimism.
Carragher said: "I've played with Michael for a long time but we've got to wish him well at Real Madrid and forget about him.
"I hope he does well but the most important thing is Liverpool and that Djibril scored on his debut against Tottenham. As long as the strikers continue to score, it will be easier to forget Michael.
"I'm not going to say whether Djibril and Milan are better as a partnership. Michael was a great goalscorer and it is up to other people to be able to blend with him, it is not down to him.
"He perhaps never had a regular partner while he was at Liverpool. Of course, we'd have preferred Michael to stay but no-one can begrudge him a move like that. It is Real Madrid and good look to him.
"It's difficult to replace him but maybe the funds we get for him we will use to strengthen the team.
"The manager is looking at a couple of midfielders so maybe he's going to strengthen the team in a different way. We'll be all right - don't worry."
