Carrick warns Red Devils against complacency

(22-12-2010)Manchester United must guard against complacency if they want to sustain their EPL title challenge, reckons the club’s holding midfielder Michael Carrick. Following a host of draws in the early part of the season, three successive wins have catapulted the Red Devils to the top of the league, two points ahead of Arsenal and Manchester City, with a game in hand. "You hope that earlier spell is behind us but it's never far away if you start to take your foot off the pedal,” commented Carrick on Tuesday. "A couple of poor performances, and bad results aren't far behind. That's what keeps you on your toes.” He added: “You've got to keep the standards high, and that's been the strength of this club over the years, maintaining that quality.”
