""It's been a good week," Carrick said. "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," Carrick said. "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.""
Michael Carrick prepares Manchester United for a big challenge at table-topping Arsenal while describing quiet confidence within the squad after a 2-0 derby victory over Manchester City. United produced a strong performance and Carrick emphasizes balancing encouragement from the win with staying level-headed. One victory provides a foundation but does not define the team. Arsenal lead the league by seven points and have beaten United in their last four Premier League meetings at the Emirates, including a 1-0 win at Old Trafford earlier in the season. United acknowledge Arsenal's strengths and must be ready for a tough game.
