Strong Statement: Manchester United Superstar Still Believes Red Devils Can Win the Title

Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick believes that United are capable of winning the title this season. Speaking to Sky Sports ahead of United’s clash with Chelsea, the 34-year-old midfielder said: “Sunday’s a big game for us, of course it is. If we can go there and get the win, it puts us in a good position.

“But then we have to go and do it all over again the week after. It’s week by week now and we are coming to the time of year where it’s almost the business end where things are won and lost.

“We still want to be up there challenging and fighting and giving ourselves every opportunity to still finish on top.

“I’ve been here for a while now and there’s been seasons where it hasn’t gone so well up until now and you find yourself putting a run together, winning games and you end up having a successful season.

“That’s the focus from now, really. This season almost starts now for us – putting a run together and hopefully ending up with some silverware again.

“Can we win the title? I think we can. I believe we can. I’m realistic to understand where we are and the situation, but as games tick by, if we keep winning then we give ourselves a chance.
“If we don’t keep winning, then the chance falls by the wayside. It’s up to us carry on the form we’ve showed over the last couple of games and build on that.”

Carrick, who turns 35 in June, is set to start talks with United over a contract extension that will see him dedicated his future to the club for another season and a chance to join the clubs coaching department.
