Michael Carrick insists Manchester United's dressing room are calm over their lack of goals in recent games.

"We are generally playing quite well and it is easy when certain details don't go right and you are drawing games rather than winning them for people to say this and that," he said ahead of Sunday's derby against Manchester City.

"But we know within ourselves how we are playing and the way we want to look forward.

"I'm sure we'll start scoring pretty quickly again. We've had spells while I've been here where we've had two or three games like we've had recently and it is easy to think 'What's gone wrong?' but it not a case of that.

"We believe what we are doing is the right way and I'm sure it will come better as the season progresses."
