Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick has admitted that he was always confident in the side’s ability to bounce back after their slow start.
The Red Devils beat league leaders Arsenal 1-0 on Sunday thanks to a Robin Van Persie goal, and the three-points mean they are just five points behind The Gunners now.
Many people started criticising David Moyes’ men and questioning their ability to even finish in the top-four this season, but Carrick has admitted that he always knew the team would bounce back sooner rather than later.
“After a shocking start we are not in a bad position,” said Carrick.
“We never really got too despondent. We were frustrated with our performances and results but you have to stay patient and trust yourself.
“We knew there was a long way to go and there still is.”
