Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick fully expects his side to
produce more in front of goal after the Red Devils sneaked past Everton
at Old Trafford yesterday with the only goal of the game coming from
Cristiano Ronaldo with a spot kick.
Carrick was later named man of the match, but the 27-year-old believes that United were not at their best.
Speaking to The Manchester Evening News, Carrick said, "It was never going to be easy for us. We played well in the first half but they made it difficult for us after.
"We're
happy with the 1-0 win and another clean sheet. In all honesty we could
have scored more but there is still more to come from us.
"The win was what we wanted, that's the most important thing. The performance comes after that."
"We have done our bit for this weekend. We have a long week off now so we can recover and rest for that."
The
win for United takes them five points clear at the summit of the
Premier League table, and enhances their quest for another title.
The
former West Ham United player has played a pivotal role this season for
United, and has begun to ease the doubts over his massive £18.6 million
fee two and a half years ago.
The Tyne and Wear born player has
played 81 Premier League games for the league holders since his move
from Tottenham Hotspur in 2006, and has been on target seven times in
the process.
