Alex Ferguson’s side have seen Liverpool cut their
Premier League lead from seven points to just one.
Carragher roared: “United will realise they are in a
fight for the league now.
"We’re the form team, and this is the best time of the
season to be in form.
"There’s not long to go now and hopefully we can keep
it going — but United will know now that we are in there.”
Liverpool gave Aston Villa a 5-0 whacking on Sunday
after beating United 4-1 at Old Trafford and putting four past Real
Madrid in Europe.
The Reds capitalised on United and Chelsea both losing
on Saturday and Carragher added: “It’s not normal for results to go
for you at the top, so it put more pressure on us.
“Earlier in the season, we hadn’t been at the top
before and we didn’t know how to deal with it.
“But we are maturing and getting used to the demands of
fighting for a title.”
United have played a game less and Carra added: “One
point with a game in hand is a decent lead. We’ve just got to stay
on their coat-tails.”
