MUFC Is Ready For The Arsenal Challenge – Carrick

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has said that he is ready for a big challenge against table-topping Arsenal. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, even though there is a quiet confidence around Manchester United after last weekend’s derby triumph, the players must remain level-headed ahead of another big game.

Carrick added that beating City did not make MUFC a great team overnight; it only gave the Red Devils a good foundation to build on.

His words, “It’s been a good week. It was a big result, a big performance and a big uplift, you know, with the feeling inside the stadium.

It’s getting that balance between taking the encouragement and the confidence from the game itself and the performance and keeping level-headed and the feet on the ground.

We’ve got another big game coming up and one game doesn’t make you a great team, it gives us a great foundation to build on.

There’s a lot of confidence, a lot of good feeling within the group but measured with that, and we know what’s coming and we’ve got to be ready for it.

I’m looking forward to the game. It’s a big challenge. They’re a very good team. It’s pretty obvious to say that. They’ve got so many strong points to their game, and to their squad.

It’s a big challenge, they are where they are for a reason and where they are in the Champions League for a reason, so we’re fully aware of that and not taking that lightly at all.

We feel we’re in a good place and we’re looking forward to the game, so it’s where we want to be, with that real positive energy and enthusiasm, to go there and be positive, but for sure we know it’s not going to come easy.

We’ve got our ideas and what needs to be done and how we need to get there.

Credit to Arsenal, they’re in a really strong place at the moment, they’ve built a squad and a group and Mikel takes a lot of credit for that. He has done a fantastic job.

We’ve got our own ideas on what we need to do and what it’s going to take to get there, that’s what we’ll keep working towards.”

WOW.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.

Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.

The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
