Carrick confident Man Utd can bounce back in the league

Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick is convinced that he and his teammates will swiftly return to the winners list this weekend.

The Red Devils produced a strong second half to defeat Tottenham 3-1 last weekend before going down to Athletic Bilbao 3-2 last night in the Europa League.

But United still sit second on the Premier League table, two points behind Manchester City, and Carrick feels that the team will be back at their best when they host West Bromwich Albion on Sunday although he knows how quickly things can change.

"We are desperate to win the league again and Sunday is the next game," Carrick said.

"It is massive, as they all are, and we will be ready for it.

"We are satisfied with the situation we are in but just because we have come through a tough two months doesn't mean we will sail through the next two nicely.

"We are not getting carried away and we are not taking anything for granted.

"We know how quickly it can come back and bite us."
