Man United will be 'bang out of order' to take anything for granted against Fulham

Carrick started his spell with a rousing 2-0 victory against Manchester City followed by an exciting 3-2 win against league leaders Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium last week.

The Red Devils will be firm favourites to see off seventh-placed Fulham at Old Trafford on Sunday, but Carrick is remaining calm.

"The feeling around the group, around the squad and the results that we have had, the performances and going into the next game, I don't think the past is too relevant in that respect," Carrick said of his strong start.

"We understand it and what has worked before and what hasn't, but really, I think the boys are in a good place going into the game.

"All of a sudden it is a different game, it's Fulham and just because we are at home taking anything for granted is bang out of order, really."

The former England midfielder also hinted that United could be active in the transfer market before the deadline closes on Monday.

Carrick could be looking for reinforcements after Patrick Dorgu was ruled out for most of the remainder of the season after picking up a hamstring injury against Arsenal.

âœNever say never, of course, because a lot can happen and situations can be thrown up,❠Carrick said. 

"Sometimes it's in our control, sometimes it's maybe something that's out of our control that we got to deal with.

"We're calm, I'm pretty calm. I think we've shown what we're capable of doing as a team and we'll just see what the next few days bring."
