[25] Michael Carrick on United’s up and down form

[Red News]

"There are certain times here, through the years, when we have had bad results and we have had two results on the spin - the roof caves in and everything is wrong. We have gone on to achieve things but for that week it is disastrous, horrible. This year it has been over a longer period, but hopefully we can get back to winning more often. To be fair, results aren't going well and when they aren't, people see things are wrong. We all have opinions on what can be done better and what team should be picked on the weekend. If you don't get results, people ask questions. We haven't played well enough and certain games have been quite damaging. At home, against West Brom, Southampton and Fulham, that is not what we have come to expect. We were saying about character and playing at Old Trafford if it is not going well, and there is no place to hide. Sometimes it takes players longer to settle than others. That is the nature of the club. But it is not about the individuals, it's about the team gelling together. Of course it can work out for everyone."
