Manchester United manager, Michael Carrick, has praised the character of his team, following a 3-2 win over Arsenal on Sunday.
The victory comes a week after the Red Devils beat Manchester City 2-0 in Carrick’s first game in charge.
Matheus Cunha scored the winner against Arsenal, after Mikel Merino appeared to have earned a point for the Gunners.
Patrick Dorgu and Bryan Mbeumo had scored to give United the lead after a Lisandro Martinez own goal.
Carrick told Sky Sports: “I think we understood how the game was going to go and the flow of it.
“I thought we started to take the ball and connections through the pitch, had that composure and a few moments gaining a bit of confidence as well.
“We were having a decent spell and seemed to be coming into the game when they scored, which was disappointing.
“Again, we showed the character to come back and there were stages in the game where you have to defend.
“They make you defend the box really and it’s challenging at times, but I thought we had enough in the game to keep believing in the confidence and I always fancied us to score.”
