The English midfielder is eager to win title number twenty but claims that such a win can’t be possible without shoring up the backline.
Manchester United’s defence has been far from their usual best this term, as the club have gone to concede first in nearly eight Premier League games.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonny-Evans-c19085 have struggled to contain most attacks.
In the game against West Ham, Ferdinand was rested and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chris-c9006 Smalling took his place instead and managed to keep Andy Carroll at bay for the majority of the ninety minutes.
A clean sheet followed and while Ferguson was clearly thrilled with not having conceded, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Carrick-c25282 claims that the overall display was from United’s very best.
The play-maker has been a regular starter this term and now claims that the only way to win back the Premier League from Manchester City is to maintain steady form and keep the defence as strong as possible.
“The West Ham win was by far not a classic. Obviously we weren’t at our best and the flowing football that you want to play and the chances that you want to create didn’t quite happen. We got a clean sheet, which was quite pleasing, and I thought we defended
well,” said Carrick.
Continuing, he added that preventing the Hammers from scoring was the most important thing and that United needed to build on the result by securing their place on the summit of the table.
“But we got the clean sheet. It is something to build on because the performance needs to be better. A second goal would’ve put us in a much better position going into the final few minutes, but, in the end, we held on and we’re still in a good position
at the top of the league,” the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 International was quoted as saying to the media.
United face Reading in their upcoming Premiership clash, before taking on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/CFR-Cluj-c38778 in the UEFA Champions League. The game with the Romanian giants is also expected to see the return of Vidic, who has resumed training after taking a hit to his knee in October.
