Carrick: We are masters of our destiny

MICHAEL CARRICK has reminded his Manchester United team-mates that a 19th League title remains in their hands.

The leaders emerged from a tough 90 minutes at St James’ Park on Tuesday having to make do with a point from a hard-fought 0-0 draw despite creating enough chances to have won the game.

But with a showdown at the Emirates Stadium and Chelsea’s visit to Old Trafford to come, they remain the masters of their own destiny.

Carrick said: “It’s not the end of the world at all, we are still in a good position. It’s not what we set out to do, but we move on.

“We need to bounce back with a big game on Saturday.”

“We have got tough games ahead, but they (Arsenal and Chelsea) have got tough games too.

“We don’t want to be looking at results too much, we want to be winning games ourselves.

“We just roll on. This is what we want to be doing, playing in the big games coming thick and fast.

United resume their bid for glory at home to Everton on Saturday, while the Gunners head for the north west the following day to face a Bolton side no doubt desperate to bounce back from their FA Cup semi-final mauling at the hands of Stoke.
