Michael Carrick has declared Manchester United are hitting red-hot form as they approach a crucial run of fixtures. The midfielder believes the team's recent performances signal a return to their best ahead of a pivotal week.
United travel to Arsenal on Sunday needing a win to move within touching distance of a record 19th league title. The match is followed by the Champions League semi-final second leg against Schalke and a clash with Chelsea.
Carrick, 29, admitted the pain of being swept aside by Barcelona in the 2009 Champions League final is driving the squad forward. 'The 2009 final was a massive chance to win the Champions League two years running. We missed out but we want to be there again,' he said.
The midfielder urged caution despite the team's momentum. 'We’re looking good but we won’t get ahead of ourselves. We have to carry it through to the end,' he added.
