Carrick warning over thrashing
-thesun.co.uk-
MICHAEL CARRICK believes Manchester United's demolition of Wigan is a warning the champions are getting back to their best.
Alex Ferguson's men moved within two points and two goals of leaders Chelsea with the 5-0 Old Trafford thrashing.
And Carrick, who hit the second, feels United are hitting form at just the right time.
He said: "Two points difference is not the end of world for us. We're pretty comfortable with where we are.
"We are experienced enough to be patient.
"We know with the run-in, and everyone fit and playing consistently, we've a chance. The team has changed a lot in recent weeks but it's about getting through it and picking up as many points as possible.
"We played some terrific football against Wigan and looked like the team we know we can be."
Carrick admits United have not been quite on top of their game so far this season but insists performances like that against the Latics will only help.
He added: "Hopefully, this sort of game can get us back to our top form. At home we haven't really hit our best.
"But we want to improve and now is the time to do it."
