Manchester United Face Newcastle

Michael Car­rick

Fol­low­ing a 2–2 draw at home to Ben­fica in the Cham­pi­ons League on Tues­day, Manchester United pre­pare to take on Alan Pardew´s New­castle United team at Old Traf­ford this Sat­urday look­ing for their fourth con­sec­ut­ive vic­tory in the Premier League. Manchester Unted over­came Swansea City 1–0 at Liberty Sta­dium on Sat­urday, while New­castle suffered a 3–1 defeat away to table top­ping Manchester City.

Michael Car­rick:  “Manchester United were not at their best against Swansea and the foot­ball was not as flu­ent or easy on the eye as it could have been. But we are happy to have won the match and to have got the three points. At this stage of the cam­paign it´s about pick­ing up points. It´s about graft­ing, stick­ing together and show­ing a lot of char­ac­ter. Judge where we are by Christ­mas and we will kick on from there.”
