Fletcher And Evra Target Winning Run For United

Sunday, 22 November 09, 01:45 AM · Comments (0)

After beating Everton, Manchester United focus entirely on a relentless drive to win every game between now and the end of the year as the Reds attempt to clinch a fourth Premier League title in a row in 2010.

Darren Fletcher said, "It's a busy period now and it's all club, club, club."

"The Champions League is important for us, but we've done our job in the tournament now so we can look forward. We need to kick on and put a run of league wins together."

"Beating Everton was a good start. They came and made it difficult for us but we kept the ball and we were patient and took our chances when they came."

Patrice Evra added, "It is a good win, a great result, it was not easy against a tough team like Everton."

"Fletcher is a great player and it was an unbelievable goal. I think when we scored the second goal it killed the game and that's why we won. It was not easy after the international break, we are a little bit tired, but I think we played with a lot of experience tonight."

"We are five points behind Chelsea now and we have to win every game into December now as we have already qualified in Europe and the internationals as well are finished. We need to focus on the league because we want to win it four times in a row."

On the other hand, Michael Carrick was delighted with United's killer touch.

"I think it was very important for us to bounce back with a good win. Everton always had a threat with Louis Saha up there and Yakubu coming on, so we had to keep pushing for another goal. It was nice to see the second and third go in. It meant we could play our football and relax a little bit."

"It's been a tad frustrating when we haven't been able to kill teams off at home. We've been creating enough chances to do it, but the goals just haven't been going in for us. Thankfully we did against Everton and although we could have had a few more, I think the scoreline reflects fairly on the game."

He also praised Fletcher's stunning strike.

"It was a stunning volley. I thought it was going to be a bit too high for him to keep down but he managed to get his shoulder over it, his technique was spot on. You can see how much it meant to Fletch to score. His performances are really at the highest level now. He's one of the best midfielders around at the moment and it's great to play alongside him. He's really on top of his game."

"It was nice for the midfielders to chip in and help the strikers. We've got to score goals to win matches and we can't just rely on the front two to do it every week. The midfielders have started the season well and we need to contribute a few more but as long as we're winning, who scores is really not an issue. It's winning that matters."
