"Football is a tough game to get results. It's not so much guarding against [a drop in form], it's living in the moment, staying in the moment, keep grounded and down to earth with understanding what it takes to win games. We won't get carried away, you've got to feed off the confidence and understand that runs of wins are hard to come by."
"I think you always strive to win games. It's understanding it's difficult, but not looking too far ahead. Every game is winnable. I didn't get too far ahead in terms of what was possible at [the start]. We had to get to work quickly and put things into practice, and try and be fair to the players, to give the players the right information and the right balance."
"I know some of the players, I've known some of the players more than others but now I've got to know everybody and it's a really good group. Talent-wise, ability-wise, the boys have shown what they can do. And then there's that balance of good habits, good behaviours, actually looking after each other."
Manchester United has demonstrated remarkable improvement under manager Michael Carrick, securing six victories in seven games since his appointment in mid-January and climbing to third place following a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace. The team now possesses the best form of any side in the league during this period, having transformed from seventh place with only two wins in eight matches. Carrick emphasizes the importance of maintaining focus and consistency rather than becoming overconfident about their success. He stresses the need to stay grounded, understand the difficulty of sustaining winning runs, and approach each match with the belief that every game is winnable. Carrick credits the players' talent and ability while highlighting the importance of good habits, behaviors, and team cohesion in achieving their objectives.
