Michael Carrick has saluted the Reds' battling qualities
following their hard fought victory over Blackburn at the
weekend.
A second half strike from Louis Saha gave United an invaluable
victory at Ewood Park which kept them three points ahead of title
rivals Chelsea at the Premiership summit.
"If you are going to win the league, this is the type of place
where you need to get a result," Carrick told MUTV. "We showed a
lot of character to grind out the result out and get the three
points.
"We need a few of these type of victories to win the title, I have
not been here long but that has already been made clear to
me.
"Sometimes you enjoy those games even more than when you are
playing free-flowing football. You feel as though you have really
earned your victory.
"We are on a good run of wins," added the 25-year-old midfielder.
"We are all very confident and we need to carry it on. The league
is a long slog but hopefully this will be the start of things to
come."
