Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick fully expects his
side to produce more in front of goal after the Red Devils sneaked
past Everton at Old Trafford yesterday with the only goal of the
game coming from Cristiano Ronaldo with a spot kick.
Carrick was later named man of the match, but the 27-year-old
believes that United were not at their best.
Speaking to The Manchester Evening News, Carrick
said, "It was never going to be easy for us. We played well in the
first half but they made it difficult for us after.
"We're happy with the 1-0 win and another clean sheet. In all
honesty we could have scored more but there is still more to come
from us.
"The win was what we wanted, that's the most important thing. The
performance comes after that."
"We have done our bit for this weekend. We have a long week off now
so we can recover and rest for that."
The win for United takes them five points clear at the summit of
the Premier League table, and enhances their quest for another
title.
The former West Ham United player has played a pivotal role this
season for United, and has begun to ease the doubts over his
massive £18.6 million fee two and a half years ago.
The Tyne and Wear born player has played 81 Premier League games
for the league holders since his move from Tottenham Hotspur in
2006, and has been on target seven times in the process.
