The Manchester United man claims that the Portuguese side should not be underestimated ahead of their UEFA Champions League tie and that victory was never guaranteed in the European competition.
Having been clinical in front of goal, the Red Devils will be eager to secure victory when they face http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SC-Braga-c40460 tomorrow at the Theatre of Dreams. However, their defence has been shambolic in recent games and the side conceded twice during the weekend win
over Stoke City.

Midfield has been one of the strong points, but considering that only one defensive rock is present in the side, Fergie’s troops will have to be extra careful when facing Braga.
Having broken up the traditional dominance of the big four in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984, the Archbishops are deadly foes and will require something special if they are to be denied points in Manchester.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Carrick-c25282 has already reiterated that United must secure their progression to the latter stages of the Champions League but also added that the players must take each game at a time and focus on the task at hand.
"It can be quite tough in the Champions League to judge. Some people might pick out two teams in a group and say they will be the top two and the others will struggle. Quite a lot of the time, that is not the case. It isn't necessarily the teams that catch
your eye who are the ones that cause you problems."
He also added that the Premeira Liga giants had to be given credit for securing a position in the tournament and the necessary respect as well.
"Braga are a good team. You have to respect them for getting to this stage to start with. It is not easy in any league to go through the whole season near the top. You have to respect them. They are going to be of a certain standard and we have to match
it."
