**Michael Carrick**commented on a 1-0 victory for **Manchester United**against Chelsea.
The team got back to winning ways with a sweet strike from Matheus Cunha, dusting off the cobwebs from a 2-1 derby day defeat to **Leeds United**at **Old Trafford**on Monday evening.
‘We wanna look behind us’
It was an even more impressive feat given the absences of Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, **Leny Yoro**and **Matthijs de Ligt**from central defence. The Red Devils established a solution to the problem, and they have pushed into third place outright ahead of **Aston Villa**on a tally of 58 points.
“Coming here we haven't had a great record. Records are there to be broken. It's a tough league. It's getting the perspective on that. It was disappointing against Leeds at home. Today coming here and having the moment with the fans at the end, the boys enjoyed that one.
“It was massive, that was a big win for us. They had some opportunities but to keep a clean sheet and defend like we did, there was a lot of work that had to go into the last day or so in terms of prepping the team with a new back four.
"I thought Ayden Heaven and Noussair Mazraoui coming in were incredible, Ayden being such a young age and Noussair not really playing centre back in a back four. I have to give the coaching staff a lot of credit on getting the boys ready for that. I thought the boys put a magnificent performance in.
*“[**Bruno Fernandes*] has been immense for a period of time, he's carried that all the way through. He plays most games, he's fit, he's hungry. He had a big shift to do in the middle but he was willing to do that for the team. He's a big personality and captain for a reason. Sometimes it's leading by example and showing the way. He's vocal, he's a big presence on the pitch. He's been a big part of this club.
"Big win for us, we wanna look behind us. I understand what it means but we want to try and improve and move forward. We're still not high enough. It's good for support, I hope they enjoy it travelling home and away. We win some, might not always win but doing it a way where everyone can buy into it and have a connection, it's what we're all in for."
“It's easy to forget the position that we're in. We can play better, there's lots of layers to come but we've got results to build momentum and a foundation.
“I love being here. I understand the situation [about my future], it's a bit out my hands. You want to be parts of nights like this, part of special things, create a team. I haven't got a time frame."
